Traveling on F-1 visa while waiting for Immigrate visa interview

Hey all,

I have a pretty interesting case. I have traveled to the US with my parents on 2016 for a month ( had a b1/b2, first time going to the US ) then me and my eldest sister applied for a F-1 visa back in 2018, we both got it and are studying in the the US.

My dad has applied for a EB-5 which got the initial approval in May 2020. We have traveled back in August 2020 because of consular processing would be faster than adjustment of status (it wasn’t lol). But covid really messed things up and its now June 2021 and we are kinda in our final stages but we might not make it in time to join college in August.

I was wondering if it would be okay for us to travel to the US on F-1 visa this August considering we have been away for a year and we have an “immigrant intent” now after submitting our DS-260 and all.

We have no interest in staying illegally or applying for adjustment of status etc. Just don’t want to miss an extra semester of college and once we get our interview appointment we would travel back and do it.

We have flown to the US many times (like 4) since my dad applied for the EB-5 with no issues. But I’m scared of the now clear immigrant intent might put us in trouble.

Thanks.

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 ...
