UK Embassy appointments/or can I apply for my visa in another country

Hi, I used to be on a H2b visa in the USA before Covid hit and I came home. Now my job has offered me another H2b position, in which their petitions should get approved in the next two ish weeks so I can file.

My issue is that due to Coronavirus and the Travel bans the UK Embassy are only taking emergency appointments, has anyone applied for an appointment lately and knows the wait times (I saw some saying a B2 earliest was March😬 but that's a visitor visa). Specially on visas that involve working would be helpful, exempt ones also?

My start date is the beginning of October and I cannot see being able to get a visa in that time likely, on top of that there is a travel ban so I'd have to go to a third country for 14 days prior to entering the United States.

I have researched Embassies in other countries that will take Third Country Nationals (non citizens) but the only one I can seem to find is Romania, this is also exempt from the Travel ban so I could possibly go there for my visa in whilst waiting 15 days before entering the states... has anyone ever done this? Someone I was told about just got an O visa in Romania but was from the Netherlands so I assume it might be possible... please let me know.

I don't understand why companies and agencies would hire out of country if the employees can't get there are all. I've been waiting to go back since I set foot in England so desperately want to be there this season.

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 ...
