F-1 Visa may not be reinstated and AOS not completed

Hello all,

I’m writing this to hopefully get some good news and figure out our options.

So, my husband (F-1 visa holder) and I (US citizen) got married in March 2020. We are both full time college students. Long story short, due to personal reasons and other factors my husband had some issues with his grades, and from what I understand since he can’t redeem some of his classes by the end of the semester it is now up to the school to decide whether his F-1 status will be reinstated or not. We are gathering what we need to send in the AOS paperwork, however someone within our university told us that it would be bad for us to file AOS while his F-1 is potentially transitioning?

My biggest question is: if he is not reinstated, will he immediately lose his lawful status? We are a married couple and live together, will he be required to leave since his AOS paperwork is not submitted? Also, I assume if we traveled outside the US, he would not be permitted to return?

If this were to happen and he must return home, would we have to submit an application for a spousal visa for him to be able to return to the US?

I appreciate any guidance or insight on my situation. If you know of any free or low cost immigration legal advice services, that would be great. I will be trying to find local services so we can speak to a lawyer together.

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 ...
