US visa appointment without copy of previous visa extension?

I went to the US on an H2B visa in 2017. Before my season ended, I extended my visa for another 6 months to work for a different company. My employer who filed my visa extension, never gave me my extension approval notice (I-797A). I contacted my employer for a copy of that document, as I've applied for a new H2B visa and I need a copy of all previous visas and visa extensions for my visa appointment, which is in 2 weeks.

I have a friend who I worked with in the US, who's current colleague also apparently lost her I-797A of her extension a few years back. She also applied for a new H2B visa 2 years back without her lost I-797A and her visa was approved.

A few of my friends, who all went for their visas last year got asked for all their previous visas and I-797 of all their previous visa extensions. So my visa appointment is in 2 weeks and what do I do when the consulate officer asks me for my I-797 of my visa extension? And what's the chances that he will deny my visa because of the fact that I don't have that I-797?

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/
