British husband’s ESTA was denied- please help!

I’m a US citizen, and my husband is a UK citizen. I have a UK residence visa, but due to a myriad of reasons we decided to settle in the US. We’re in the process of applying for his green card now (awaiting an NVC appt). I’m working full-time here, and he’s working full-time in the UK

Anyway, this damn pandemic has thrown a wrench in things. The last time my husband was able to come was last summer, when our baby was born. He was able to stay for a few weeks, then had to go back for work

Finally, his work calmed down enough for him to come in mid-February. He booked the plane tickets, his PCR test, we got super excited...and then his ESTA was denied. No clue why, and no clarity on how to move forward. He tried calling the US Embassy in London, but couldn’t get through to a live agent. I’m assuming he needs to get a visa, but the visa appointments are so limited.

Does it matter he’s excluded from the Presidential proclamation (since he’s an immediate family member of a US citizen)?

Can he still come? What can we do?

Thank you so much in advance!

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

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 ...
