halp- stuck abroad :( SB1 Visa or ....?

Important points:

  • lost permanent resident green card, was still able to travel abroad with travel document for a family vacation to St. Lucia, WI (June 2019)
  • lost passport while abroad :/
  • planned to travel back to US early 2020 but couldn’t apply to replace missing green card or passport due to COVID closures of local offices as well as access to nearest embassy in Barbados
  • I can’t order a replacement green card outside the US, and I fear my status may appear as abandoned if I wait any longer- it’s been more than a year but COVID put a huge dent in the time frame I would have been able to process paperwork needed to come back home

I lived in the US for more than 20 years, I have children there and family and life is there. My SO is pregnant and due to give birth this summer (she’s visited me a few times while I’ve been stuck here, we’ve been together 2 years) so I’m desperate to get back but don’t know what the right channels are. SO and I have talked about getting married, she’s a US citizen born and raised, but I don’t know if we would get through with that either. I don’t know if the SB1 visa would help in this case but I don’t know what else to do.... I will try to consult with an attorney but until then- any advice would be appreciated.

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/
