Essential travel | Traveling to Mexico City from the US for Visa Stamping

I am an Indian Citizen accepted to Medical Residency Training at a US Hospital on a J1 Visa. I came on a B1 Visa for interviews back in Nov 2019 and couldn't travel back to home country due to Coronavirus Pandemic.

I94 was valid till May 3, I filed I539 for extension of status on April 16, I filed I539 for change of status to move from B1 to J1 on May 5. Requested expedited processing, they denied expedited request citing lack of biometrics.

My current stay isn't unlawful, but my job starts on June 20. There isn't a way to get the CoS approved here. So I started looking at getting stamping in Mexico.

I reached out to the embassy, they are accommodating. They said find a safe passage here. What all should I know before flying into Mexico City for appointments? Hotels have some weird restrictions during the pandemic? Can I stay in Airbnb? Would border officers be ok with that? Any pointers would help.

I don't speak Spanish.

Are there any ways to make payment in Mexico as they will only accept cash payment.

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

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 ...
