Help for military spouse here on K1 visa

Good day everyone,

I am currently waiting for my adjustment of status, after coming to the US this year on a K1 visa.

My husband will be in officer school (a military training) starting January until end of May 2021. He has orders and I have a copy, which states how long he will be gone. He will also be deployed by the end of June, and we will both move to Germany together. We have a letter with a date for that as well. I am trying to find out, if it would be possible to go to the Adjustment of Status Interview by myself, because he will not be able to go there with me. Does someone on here know/ has been in a similar situation and can provide me with some tips, I am also trying to get an expedite so I will have a Residency card before I leave the US with my husband.

So far, I have done some research and called the USCIS Military Hotline twice. I have received some contradicting information regarding my first question - if he has to be there during the interview. After I pointed out that it says on their website that the USCIS office can conduct the interview without my spouse being present, if he is deployed, they said, oh yes it should be possible, but I would need to have proof that he is not able to travel to the interview. I asked, if it is possible He will not be deployed, he will be on a training, so I would like to make sure that I am going to be able to attend that interview.

I asked, if it is possible to get an expedite, and they read out a couple of categories, which I had to choose from. I chose "humanitarian reasons" with the reasoning that I am a dependent of military personnel, who will have to leave the country on official orders in June 2021. And that I would not be able to pay rent if I had to stay behind. The lady put in the expedite request, and I will see, if it will go through. If not, she said to ask for another expedite once I receive my biometric appointment. If anyone has been in a similar situation, or knows, if there is any additional form of support for military personnel, I would be really grateful for any help. I would have thought that the Army would be able to help out somewhat, but so far, we have not received any help, the JAG office (Army lawyer) was not able to help us in the past either (I received 2 rejections for my paperwork with no explanation). Maybe it would be an idea to contact them again? Thank you very much for your help!

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
