Advice for Mexican Immigration to US

Tl;DR - Any advice while waiting for greencard and B1/B2 interviews to live with my spouse outside of Mexico?

Huge wall of text.

My wife and I have been married for a year and a half. Shortly after marriage, we started the paperwork to get her green card, back in March 2019. After a few back and forth document updating with USCIS - everything was finally green lit and all our papers sent to the NVC in April 2020.

Since Ciudad Juarez is the ONLY place they do Green Card interviews, we're essentially waiting for them to start doing interviews with the information I was provided as it is a "they'll call you, don't call them".

With the pandemic, we noticed that some other consulates were still open and doing business (not quite as normal, but close enough I guess).

Since she lives near Merida, Izumal, and I was visiting anyway, we decided to apply for a non-immigration Visa, knowing full well it could be declined just because we were already attempting an immigration Visa. But we read information, and while rare, sometimes they do offer B1/B2 visas for temporary stays in the US.

So we filled the paperwork out in May, and less than a month later we were green lit for fingerprinting and an Interview in Merida a month after that. Halfway through June (5 weeks before) the appointment was canceled and we were emailed that we would have to reschedule.

Fast forward 3 more months and 5 other cancellations and reschedules - we've essentially run out of hope. Our current appointments are in October for fingerprinting in Ciudad Juarez and the interview in Hermosillo (Splitting the locations allowed us to get an appointment 2 months earlier).

NOW for the questions...

Does anyone know if any of these locations are actually conducting the fingerprinting or interviews for B1/B2 visas and I've had terrible luck? Or are they essentially placeholders, and if policy doesn't allow the actual interview within a week they cancel and you have to scramble to reschedule?

​

EDIT - Typed up all H1 and H2 visas instead of B1/B2, because I'm an idiot.

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 ...

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?
