What status: Between visa and green card (AoS)

Hello everyone,

I am a foreigner in the US under a E-2 visa. I applied during lockdown for a AoS, after getting married to my long time girlfriend. I received a notification that it’s being processed in April, nothing more.

I am a big fisher/hunter. Normally, a non-immigrant is prohibited from owning a firearm, except if you have a hunting licence. I bought a firearm back in 2019. Turkey season is approaching, so I went to purchase a second one, for which I was declined. I appealed the decision with the FDLE and received this message:

Under title 18, United States code, section 922(g)(5)(a), an alien illegally or unlawfully in the United States is prohibited from receiving, or purchasing a firearm or ammunition.

-> ICE records cannot determine your non-immigrant status and you are not legally residing in the United States as a legal non-immigrant <-

If you believe your immigration status is incorrect, you must contact the ICE office in your immediate area and request that your admission status be corrected”

The sentence between arrows is concerning me. When I apply for AoS, does it void my visa? What is my immigration status? Does it mean my E-2 visa is permanently revoked?

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
