J-1 visa interview canceled...again

Hello everyone. I'm applying for a j-1 visa category that is exempt from the recent presidential proclamation/ban. I managed to schedule a regular visa interview appointment that was canceled by the embassy around 10 days before its date. I was then approved for an emergency appointment that was also canceled just a few days prior to its date due to the covid situation. Due to the repeated interview cancellation, I am already past the start date on my ds-2019 and soon this current ds-2019 would not even grant me entry into the US.

What are my options here?

Can I apply at an embassy at a different country as a third country national? where would I be able to get an appointment (soon)?

I have already e-mailed the US embassy in my country multiple times asking for an emergency appointment but to no avail. All I get is the same generic response saying visa processing/interviews have been suspended due to the covid situation. Thankfully my employer is flexible and has been understanding, but I am really not sure how to proceed at this point or what to expect...this opportunity is extremely important to me and I don't want to lose it over something like this... any advice or similar experiences would be appreciated.

NVC Case FE Review note

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/
