L1 visa or spouse visa?

Hi, I'm a citizen of a western EU country.

I met my American husband through gaming back in 2018. We travelled back and forth to visit eachother a few times, before getting married in Florida at the end of 2019. Since then, I have been living back in my own country, and he has been living in his. - i.e. we have never co-habitated. I worry that a US immigration official would think that we were not a 'real' couple because of this, if we were to apply for a spouse visa.

I work for a major tech company, and am considering applying for an L1 (internal company transfer) visa to the US instead. Just so that my husband and I can get to a point where we live in the same country as eachother. I am a junior developer at my company though - and therefore i worry that I will not qualify for an L1-B visa.

What type of visa would I be better off applying for?

Any/all advice appreciated. I worry that I don't even know the right questions to be asking.

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 ...
