Immigration to USA [F2B or other options]

Hello,

I would like to ask for your opinion.

​

My family received Green Card in 1998(Social security number etc.), we went to the USA once (me and my mother), however my father stayed to work and was returning home

for a few months and coming back to the USA and doing this for 20 years, me and my mother stayed in Slovakia. He is paying taxes for himself and our family.

My and mother's card were not renewed but from my father's side it was all time.

I am currently 22 years old, born X.06.1998

I wrote to embassy in Slovakia and they wrote this:

I regret to inform you, that then there is not a possibility to renew your card.

The green card is valid only for one year if you are out of the USA. If your father is living and working in the US and has a green card, he may apply for the Immigrant visa for you in category F2B if you are not married- There is a five years waiting time since this category is numerically limited.

​

So they said I can't renew it because 1 year max outside of the US, but I have family member there so I can apply for F2B, but F2B has a limited number of visas, and can take from 2 to 7 years.

​

I would like to ask if there are any other possible options to receive a green card back when I used to have one and my father is paying taxes and soon will be receiving american pension alongside with slovak pension.

Would it help somehow if my father asked for US citizenship and would have dual citizenship US/Slovak because he is there for over 20 years.

Do you think lawyer could help me to get Visa faster or find different way? Are they expensive?

​

Thank you for answers.

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!
