My friend marrying her partner for a green card

hello, this is a throwaway account because my friend’s partner is very active on here my friend entered the US legally on a student visa and has been in a relationship with a US citizen for almost three years now they have been living together for almost a year and from whatever she’s told me are very much in love and plan to get married some day here’s where the problem comes in though my friend is worried that she might not get an h1b sponsorship since her field of study is not STEM and this would reduce her chances of an employer hiring her she told me that she voiced her concern to her partner and that he was completely on board with marrying her for a visa he did mention that he wanted to sign a prenup because since they would be doing it only for the visa related reasons, he would want both of them to be entitled to their own assets. she was opposed to this for a bit but is softening up to the idea when i last spoke to her.

here are some of her questions: 1. if we get married would my parents have to be involved in the process? 2. how long would it take me to get a green card? 3. should i go through an immigration lawyer for the process? if yes, how much would it cost? 4. my partner and i plan on actually getting married in the future when we are ready to spend our lives together, will this process affect anything? 5. what are the pros and cons of this situation? 6. is a prenup a good step in this process? 7. anything else i should know before we consider this?

thank you so much!

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 ...
