H1b transfer beneficiary not in the US - RFE

I had an H1B transfer in normal processing in March 2021. I had a ticket booked with my family to travel outside the US on Dec 4 2020 but cancelled only my travel at the last minute. Family travelled. It looks like the Dec 4 2020 now shows as an exit date on my travel history though I can see an active I-94 that shows my correct last entry date in 2019. We got an RFE that h1b extension of status is requested but the beneficiary was not in the US at the time of filing.

Attorney has asked me to work with the I-94 office in NYC and get travel history corrected. I-94 office said that they only have read access like we all do and the only time they can add an entry is when I re-enter again as an international traveller. They say that travel history is not a legal document to support anything and there are situations they are incorrect. They suggested opening a FOIA to DHS in Washington DC to get it corrected but it can take 6-9 months.

My current H1B is valid till Nov 2022. My stamped visa also valid till Nov 2022.

What are my options now ? Can I ask the attorney to just ask for the change of employer and not ask for the extension of status ? My current I-94 will be good till Nov 2022 and before that I can re enter and get a new I-94 to match the new petition date. Please suggest.

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 ...
