Are CBPs mostly denying entry to F1 continuing students even those who aren’t from the banned countries due to COVID? Have you been taken to secondary inspection or got your phone searched?

Hi,

I’m an F1 student in USA. I would like to see my family next month only because I’m in grad school and next month is the only long holiday I will get. If I don’t go next month, I won’t be able to see my family for the next two years. I’m trying to determine if I should travel because. I know I shouldn’t travel due to COVID in itself but as I mentioned, the only reason I really want to go is because I want to see them before I have to spend two years not seeing them.

I am from Bangladesh which isn’t a restricted country. I’ve been reading horror stories about the border and I’m wondering how much of it is true? If cbp is mostly denying people and/or searching students’ phones then I will probably have to cancel my plans.

I have asked my school for advice, called SEVP for advice, called CBP for advice and obviously none of them were helpful.

Edit: all my classes are NOT online. My i20 says it’s hybrid and I also have a letter from registrar which states that my classes aren’t fully online for the next semester.

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/
