Question about K-1 Affidavit of Support

Hello!

Me and my Girlfriend are looking in to bringing her over to the states on a K-1 Visa and we're working on getting all this planned out early to give us the best possible chances, however, it's hard to get concrete information involving the Affidavit of Support I will have to file.

Specifically, I am a Welder and make good money, well above the 125% line for a 2-person household, however during 2021 my area was hit bad with Covid and a lot of us got laid off, with a lot of places closing entirely. It's been hard finding a new job and I was on Unemployment Insurance benefits for 6 months, having the IRS withhold taxes from those payments. Should we decide to move forward with the Visa application very soon, and I have to submit the Affidavit form and the recent tax return is 2021's, will those Unemployment benefits count as income, or will 6 months be not counted, dropping me below that earnings minimum? I can easily show my present earnings, but I don't want to move forward, only look at 2021's year, not count the Unemployment, and then deny the petition and force us to have to start over again.

Any advice is appreciated!

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 ...
