I-130 Now or After?

Greetings all! First time poster here in need of your knowledgeable advice please!

I am a U.S. Soldier stationed here in Colorado and my wife is a German citizen (I married her when I was stationed over there via a Montana proxy marriage) living in Nuremberg.

I understand the first place to start is filing the I-130, but when talking to an attorney, I was informed if I start it now, while she’s in Germany, I’d have to wait until it’s complete for her to come to America. On the other hand, the attorney also informed me I can wait until Jan 2021 (when she wants to move here), wait 30 days, and then start the I-130 form.

Obviously I’m new to all this so I’m here, humbly asking for more experienced advice. Also, should I go about hiring an attorney (Quoted $800 service fee plus $500 to file) or use the visajourney site I’ve read most people here have used?

Thank you all in advance!

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/
