TN Visa - Car Import Necessary?

I am a Canadian Citizen in Canada, and am planning on applying for my first TN status in 2 weeks. I am trying to find out if I can drive my car to Oregon without formally importing it immediately? I asked for the compliance letter from the manufacturer, but I'm trying to plan ahead in case I do not receive the letter in time.

I phoned the CBP and asked, and they just sent me a link to: https://cbpcomplaints.cbp.gov/kA0t0000000CiS5?name=Temporary-Importation-of-a-personal-vehicle&language=en_US

This is confusing to me, because as a Canadian I believe I can have a car in the USA for 1 year with just registration/insurance and a driver's license, and this link is stating 90 days and requires a approval letter from the EPA.

Essentially I just want to know, if I try to drive across the border to get my TN visa, will I get stopped if I don't have the paperwork to import the car on the spot? I understand there's timeline limitations on registering/insuring/importing it, I just don't want to have to turn around at the border. I'm just not sure on how it works because it says 1 year limit is for non-residents, and I'm not sure how I'll be classified.

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/

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 ...
