J-2 Two Year Home Residency No Objection Waiver | Military Conscription

I am a Taiwanese citizen. My company is petitioning me for EB3 green card but we recently found that the J-2 that I held in high school here is subjected to the two year home residency rule. My lawyer checked my travel history and determined that I am exactly two days shy of fulfilling that rule. She is about to file for a waiver under no objection category for me. However, I am worried that Taiwan embassy will deny it because I have not fulfilled my military duty in Taiwan (military conscription).

I also have the option to just travel back to Taiwan since my visa is still valid until early 2022 and I am not over 24 year-old yet, but it is not an easy task with the current COVID situation in Taiwan.

What do you think I should do? Is there is anyone with similar background who was granted a J waiver from their embassy despite not having served in the military yet?

edit: My lawyer apparently hasn't handled any J waiver case for Taiwan nationals before but she reassured me that all other J waivers that she's done were approved. Nevertheless, I think my situation is unique in a way that I have not served in the military as required by Taiwanese Laws.

NVC Case FE Review note

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!
