F1 to AOS

I came to US 2 years ago to attend a school on an F1 visa. My wife (USC) and I had no intention to get married when I first entered the US 2 years ago. We knew each other but started dating while I was living with roommates when I first moved here for 5 months. We then moved in together. I proposed to her 6 months later and she said yes. I continued my school and went to my home country for a vacation at the end of last year. I came back and we eloped more than a month later. Currently, i have finished school and I am working on OPT. We still haven’t applied for AOS and it’s been 6 months since I reentered and 5 months since we got married. What’s a good timeline to apply given that we did get married within 90 days of reentering? Can I extend my OPT for another 2 years (STEM) even when i have an AOS EAD pending once I apply in case I don’t receive my AOS EAD in time?

Edit: the office at reentry did not ask me anything but which school I was attending and asked for my i20. And no, I did not know about such a rule on F1 visa given that my thinking was still to finish my school and I wouldn’t want to change my visa status in the middle of attending a school.

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. 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 ...
