Immigration Advice

I am working under a Student Visa here in the United States. I have been living with my girlfriend for the past two years, and we look forward to getting married sometime in the future. My employer has applied to sponsor me for a work visa but I'm concerned my application will not be selected. If that is the case, then my timer starts. My visa status expires in July 2021 and we both are trying to figure out what steps I can take to maintain my status. I have read a lot about this online and I am not sure what/which citizen pathway to follow. People talk about K1, K3 visas and fiance or spouse visa's. My major concerns are:

1) How long will it realistically take to get each visa approved?

2) How soon can I work after submitting the application? What is the best most efficient way to make sure I can continue working at my current job while the submitted forms are pending?

3) Would it be best and quickest to file for a fiance or spouse visa or to adjust my status in another way?

I am trying to stay on top for my things. Any advice is appreciated.

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/
