DS-160 question | Stuck in the US | planning to go to Mexico to change Non-immigrant status and get new stamping

I'm an Indian citizen. I came into the US on a B1. My i94 expired on May 3 2020. I applied for extension of B1 (I-539) on April 16, 2020 as all flights were cancelled.

Now I got into Medical Residency. I got all the authorization on May 5 ,2020. I applied for change of status B1 to J1 (I-539 again) on May 5, 2020, then, asked for expedition. They said we do not have biometrics so they cannot help me until the biometric offices do not open.

As my Residency starts June 21, 2020. I'm pressed for time. I reached out to US embassy in Mexico, they said they would stamp medical personnel, due to the emergent nature of my stamping.

As I am applying for DS-160. I am faced with this question:

"Have you ever been unlawfully present, overstayed the amount of time granted by an immigration official or otherwise violated the terms of a US Visa?"

Should I mark yes or no. Also could you give rationale behind the answer.

I have the receipt of both applications which are current and being processed by USCIS.

I know I would abandon the I-539 process. I have no other option.

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 ...

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! I hope you guys can help submitted by /u/AlarmingUmpire3 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/immigration/comments/j2eni9/ds260_have_you_ever_attended_any_educational/
