[O1 VISA] O1 Visa Holder facing issues with a full time job opportunity

I have been having O1 visa under the agent petition. I've had it twice.

I've recently got the full time opportunity that I want as a designer with a big firm, however, it seems like they want to change my "agent" petition to "employer" petition visa. What's worse is that it's been extremely difficult to get a hold of the firm's lawyer to talk about it. They seem to be making a lot of decisions in a closed door.

The latest update that I got from the HR is that the timeline would be 6-13 weeks and my hiring manager is going to ask his manager wether they will be able to do it or not.

I have friends who have recently changed from an "agent" to "employer" O1 by using the premium processing that can guarantee to hear back in a couple weeks. I think the timeline that the HR mentioned seems oddly long and can hurt my candidacy for the job.

Any advice/experiences from somebody who's has gone through a similar process? I am struggling on how to approach this situation. I want to tell my hiring manager that the timeline 2-8 weeks can be a lot shorter.

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! 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/
