Path to citizenship - clear or not?

Hello, throwaway account but thanks for your time, I'll try to summarize all the key points and I'd appreciate all the advice.

- Entered at 9 years old, with inspection, overstayed Visa

- Got served with deportation orders

- Family hired a lawyer to represent our case, this is where things get cloudy as I'm not 100% familiar (yes I'll be consulting everybody soon) but my understanding is our deportation order is closed. Parents are now greencard holders and I have had DACA for 7-8 years now.

- GF of almost 8 years and I just got married. We also purchased a house together and moved in so we think a joint mortgage is a strong evidence, along with the rest of everything we shared.

My family is highly recommending to re-open our case with our lawyer and have them represent us. This can cost almost 5 figures (although some of that can't be avoided as filing fees already) so we want to spend a little time figuring out if it's recommended to file a change of status on our own or not. Sounds like there is mandatory court appearance as the main reason we should be represented.

We have zero concerns about any interviews, just not sure how straightforward this situation is? I have consultation next week, but still appreciate any outside advice.

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 ...

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/
