F1 Graduate Student, Eligible for TN or H1B Visa through employment.

Hello all,

I am an F1 Graduate student in Texas about to complete my Masters of Accounting degree in December. I have received an employment offer with a public accounting firm (Big 4) for next year. I am a Mexican national and have been studying in the US since 2014.

The firm employing me just sent me an email to start my visa application process today. I will be starting employment with the firm using OPT for the first year, and then I would need to apply for either a TN or H1-B Visa.

My question is, should I apply for the TN Visa, as there's no cap and the processing time is far less than with the H1B, or should I just give it a chance and apply for the H1-B Visa?
I should say, my main concern is being able to work by the time my contract starts, which would be during the summer of 2021. I am afraid that the H1B Visa will be delayed, and my job offer will be pulled. However, I do not want to be approved for the TN Visa, and then not being able to apply for a Green card to receive permanent status at some point down the line (TN not being a dual-intent Visa)

Any feedback or previous experiences with the application process? I have been reading about the delay times on the H1B Visa, and it's just making me more anxious, so any help is greatly appreciated.

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 ...
