Hypothesis: The recent Executive Order is about increasing Employment based green cards at the cost of Family based green cards

As I was answering another poster about something, I realized what I was stating (that the EO was partly about gutting Family based immigration at the cost of employment based immigration) was not a conclusion reached by many observers yet. First, I am going to state some facts:

1) The vast majority of family based immigrant visas that are subject to quotas (i.e not Immediate Relative) are processed at consulates abroad.

2) The vast majority of employment based immigrant visas (all of which are subject to quotas) are processed as Adjustment of Status.

3) The recent Executive order by the president blocks immigrant visas processing at consulates abroad but does not impact Adjustment of status.

4) The immigration act of 1990 Section 101d states that any unused Family Based immigration visas are added to the employment based visas for the following year.

5) The president has previously expressed an interest in lowering family based immigration and increasing employment immigration.

Based on all of what I stated, I think part of the goal of the Executive Order is to achieve (5) above since Congress was not going to play ball. The EO also kills the diversity visas since the majority of those are also processed at consulates abroad.

DS-260 Have you ever attended any educational institutions at a secondary level or above?

Ok so I’m not sure what to put down here, I have a high school diploma and currently attending college! So for the occupation part for a previous question I put down the school I go to and address, however I am uncertain what to put down here, I put my high school start and end date but do I also include the college? Because it says highest level of education COMPLETED but also in the drop down menu there is an option that says UNIVERSITY,NO DEGREE which if I do choose then I will have to fill out the school information and then a start date and an end date which I still do not know this is the only question I’m struggling will and have looked into it but no straightforward answer!

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...
