Rejected I539 for B2 visa - please help!

My parents were visiting the US on a visitor (B2) visa, but couldn't leave due to the ongoing pandemic. Their stay was authorized till August 2020, and we filed the extension in July 2020. We received a notice for the biometrics appointment in February 2021 - however, my parents left the US in January 2021, a month before we got the appointment notice.

We received a letter last week (August 2021) stating that the I 539 was rejected because we missed the biometrics appointment. I want to make sure that we won't have any trouble when my parents try to visit the US again.

We had called USCIS back in February as soon as we received the biometrics notice and they said that it was okay to miss it since they had already left the country by then, and the agent over the phone assured us that we just had to bring the appointment notice which had proof that the letter was sent after we had already left the country. I am not so sure if that was the right advice. Please help! How do I confirm that we won't have any issues, or if we will, how do I rectify it? Should I file a form I290B?

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/
