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.

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 ...
