Canadian citizen, never lived in Canada, desiring to relocate to USA for a little over a year.

As it says in the title, I was born in Jordan and have lived my whole life here. I went to college in Montreal in 2008-9 but dropped out, and moved back to Jordan. During this time, I acquired my SIN but never went back to visit Canada.

My long term partner received a great job offer in New York (2 year contract) so I encouraged her to take it, believing I would be able to figure things out with my business and follow her shortly after. This is around the time COVID hit, and it drained me financially. My plan was to make enough money, that I could take any under the table job and still be 50/50 so we could live comfortably together for the year or so I'd be living with her. During this time, I would apply to as many jobs that would help me apply for a work visa to continue past the 6 month maximum allowed for a Canadian.

I guess my concerns are, I need to find a proper job BEFORE relocating, and somehow leverage my Canadian citizenship to expedite the process of obtaining a visa. I'm afraid not having ever lived in Canada would hurt my chances. Also my qualifications are nothing spectacular; a diploma in Hospitality Management (but never having worked more than 6 months in the industry), I had much better success with my own business ventures till COVID and my country's way of dealing with it bankrupt me. Part of me just wants to pack my bags and YOLO over to NY and figure it out once I'm there!

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

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!
