Visited with invalid ESTA, how ducked am I?

So long story short I received an ESTA in 2018.

In early august 2019 People who have visited North Korea were no longer eligible for the VWP. I went to NK for a week as a tourist in 2015.

I had no idea about this, I was not asked questions about about travel history to North Korea (on my ESTA application in 2018, or at the border when I visited the us late August 2019 - a few weeks after the rule came in).

I’ve just gone to get a new ESTA, and have seen that North Korea is now on the list of bad countries. Which means I need a B2 visa.

I never break immigration rules on purpose so I’m gonna get a visa, I’m not going to lie.

But how screwed am I for that earlier trip to the us?

I had never been asked about travel to NK, I never lied to anyone or on any form, and the rules changed, unknown to me, 3 weeks before I travelled on the ESTA / vwp.

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 ...

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/
