F1 Visa Renewal in Canada

Hello everyone,

Here is my situation:

I got my first F1 visa in May of 2017 in Brazil (my home country)

I started studying English for 3 quarters, and after that I started my associates degree classes. Since I always took my summer's off (vacations quarters) I will be graduating with my Associates degree in late March 2022, after that I should be getting OPT for at least one year, and then get back to school to get my Bachelors.

My current F1 stamp expired in May 2021. I would like to renew it, because my grandmother will be having a heart surgery, and if something happens to her, I want to be able to go visit her without stress and come back to the U.S to finish my studies.

Since I live in Seattle, I am planning to get the renewal stamp in Vancouver/Canada.

I am apprehensive for the following reasons:

After 3 years as an international student, last year I got married here in Seattle to a DACA holder, and four months ago I gave birth to my first daughter (so she is an U.S citizen). None of these events made any difference in my studies, when I got married last year I was in my summer vacation, and when I gave birth this year I was also in my summer vacation.

My husband is an Italian/Brazilian citizen, we don't plan to stay here more than 5 years, we plan to go to Europe after I fully graduate and have some work experience in the U.S.

I am afraid they will deny it and I won’t be able to return to the USA to my daughter, and my

husband.

In my passport I still remain Single, as I am unable to register my marriage in Brazil unless I am personally present in Brazil, so my docs will remain the same.

What do you guys think? Any recent experiences? Thank you!

Immigration to USA [F2B or other options]

Hello, I would like to ask for your opinion. ​ My family received Green Card in 1998(Social security number etc.), we went to the USA once (me and my mother), however my father stayed to work and was returning home for a few months and coming back to the USA and doing this for 20 years, me and my mother stayed in Slovakia. He is paying taxes for himself and our family. My and mother's card were not renewed but from my father's side it was all time. I am currently 22 years old, born X.06.1998 I wrote to embassy in Slovakia and they wrote this: I regret to inform you, that then there is not a possibility to renew your card. The green card is valid only for one year if you are out of the USA. If your father is living and working in the US and has a green card, he may apply for the Immigrant visa for you in category F2B if you are not married- There is a five years waiting time since this category is numerically limited. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/v

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
