Important Question about F-1 US Visa

Hey Guys so first of I hope you guys are staying safe and well.

Q. I own an F-1 US Student Visa (enrolling to college this September), my Grandma recently got sick (not COVID-19) but we are still worried about her and I made the decision since I'll be going to the US this Year anyways to fly a bit earlier than expected and actually go to my Grandma to help her a bit out.

Option 1 : But I'm not to sure if I'm allowed to transit the US since I'm only allowed to enter the US 30 days prior to my College Start Date but at the same time I'm not entering the US I'm just transiting without leaving the Airport does anyone know the answers for this?

​

Option 2 : Fly from Zurich to YYZ (Canada) and then 12 hours later to the Bahamas but yet is the Question can I Transit with my F-1 US Visa in Canada the reason why I'm brining up Canada is because I found this on the Canada.ca ( https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/entry-requirements-country.html )

Foreign nationals in the following situations (Entry requirements by country/territory)

​

  • have proper documents to enter the United States, or
  • Were lawfully admitted to the United States.

And if I'm not wrong F-1 Students are "lawfully admitted" to the United States.

Could anyone please help me out that knows it better than me Thank You.

I know that there is currently a ban but doesn't stop people that are transiting via US, CA

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/

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.
