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

Immigration to USA [F2B or other options]

Hello, I would like to ask for your opinion. ​ My family received Green Card in 1998(Social security number etc.), we went to the USA once (me and my mother), however my father stayed to work and was returning home for a few months and coming back to the USA and doing this for 20 years, me and my mother stayed in Slovakia. He is paying taxes for himself and our family. My and mother's card were not renewed but from my father's side it was all time. I am currently 22 years old, born X.06.1998 I wrote to embassy in Slovakia and they wrote this: I regret to inform you, that then there is not a possibility to renew your card. The green card is valid only for one year if you are out of the USA. If your father is living and working in the US and has a green card, he may apply for the Immigrant visa for you in category F2B if you are not married- There is a five years waiting time since this category is numerically limited. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/v

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.

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
