Problem with upcoming N400 Appointment

I applied for naturalization last year and I have an appointment coming up. I have a situation I need to address and wanted to ask for some advice.

In 2012 I got a driving without a license charge while undocumented, this was in another state that I am applying in. Since I was pregnant at the time, they didn’t detain me, instead they cited me and let me leave. I panicked and gave a false name. I went to court, completed community service. In 2013, I received my green card and never disclosed the charge.

For my citizenship, I hired an attorney and told him the story, he said it wouldn’t be a problem. His office sent me the N 400 questionnaire, I answered “No” to all since the charge was never brought up again. Now that application has been turned in, he wants to amend the form and disclose that I received a citation and inform them that I used a different name.

I want to be honest, but it looks bad, omitting the ticket for the green card would show I have been lying since then. I noticed that on the application it says you must provide information on any citation, which I don’t have, and they received an application answering “no” to any citation or tickets. I have already done my biometrics. I feel that retracting this information and providing something bad like this would hurt me and get my green card taken away and possibly deported. I’m thinking to completely give up and not show up for the appointment.

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 ...

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/
