Marriage to divorced green card holder

Hello everyone. I have a question, but first let me give you some background. My boyfriend is a green card holder. He obtained his permanent residency roughly 1.5 ago through marriage. Unfortunately, his wife turned out to be very abusive (long story, but she was probably every men’s biggest nightmare. Controlling, violent, terrible). He managed to divorced her few months ago and now we live together in peace.

Now. I am an international student. My program ends next year (I’m still eligible for OPT). We want to get married one day and start a family. We don’t really care where we live as long as we are together BUT he owns a business in the United States and, as long as he doesn’t have his citizenship, can’t really move out. Therefore, my question is:

Will the fact that he obtained his GC through marriage and later divorced affect my possible future GC application when we get married? We want to marry next year, but we can also wait some time. He will become US Citizen in four years. Should we wait until he becomes citizen? Or do you think we can start the process sooner?

Thank you

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

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 ...
