Law Firm mistake - EB3 I-140

Hello everyone,

What would you do in my shoes? My I-140 has been approved but the lawyer made the mistake of selecting AOS instead of consular processing, even tho we discussed several times my OPT was ending, and I was going back home.

In summary, he presented me 3 options, but that’s only after I pressed for the information. He was not clear with anything before. Option 1. Stick with I-824. It would probably take an absurd amount of time (9 months+) to transfer current I-140 to NVC. Option 2. Apply for another I-140, with correct option selected now. Premium processing. It would cost $3200 plus legal fees (I am going to press to not pay legal fees). Option 3. Nuclear option, go back to the US with a current student visa I have to do a master and do AOS, but that is not a good option cause I would have to stop working remote. It would cost more money to do that than actually paying option 2.

Option 2 seems the best option. I just have to swallow the amount of money I have to pay. I am talking to my company to see what they think. I just unfolded this situation with my own research.

Thank you!

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 ...
