Got the job offer from a large company in the USA but no response from immigration firm

I have been offered a Science related position in huge multinational industry in the USA. Very good salary and benefits. After accepting the job offer and clearing the background check, the next step was meeting with the immigration lawyers.

In this sense, three weeks ago I had a meeting with the third-party immigration law firm that represents this company. Before this meeting I was super-excited, but sadly all my expectations went down after that meeting.

According to them, O1 is my only Visa option. Despite they didn´t say "you have no chances", based on their reactions after hearing the answers to their questions, I am assuming my chances are pretty low. Right after the meeting, I filled a form listing everything related to O1 Visa (publications, work history, prizes - only description, I have provided no documents) and since then I have been patiently waiting for their response for over 3 weeks.

Q1 - Is O1 really my only Visa option? I understand that H-1B is out of the question due to the lottery and timeline.

Q2 - Why would it take so long to either say they are not applying for O1 Visa or asking for evidences to compose the petition?

PS: I was born and live in South America, have a PhD, 3 published papers (100 citations in total), 10 years of industry experience, and European citizenship.

Any thoughts are appreciate, my anxiety is killing me.

NVC Case FE Review note

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!
