US F-1 visa renewal "refused"

Hello everyone,

I did my BA, MS, and currently doing my PhD in the US (finished my 1st year). I'm visiting home rn, and I applied for a renewal as it was expiring this summer. Due to covid, I wasn't required to do an interview and just sent out my documents. My ds-160 status is currently "refused," and I couldn't really get any answers through the phone. They just told me that the status could change or I would just need to wait for my documents to be back if it's denied. I'm really really freaking out. I have a 1-year apt lease and left my car at the airport. IDK why on earth they'd reject my visa in the middle of my PhD, but this is the 1st time I applied without a sponsor (my school covers all my expenses). I can't help but think that they just denied my visa because I no longer spend my own money. My master's and PhD have been/are supported through fellowship/stipend, but the last time I applied for a visa, I was an undergrad and my dad was my sponsor. I've been there for a long time so it's possible that they think that I'm just trying to be get a GC/citizenship, but I mean if that was the case, I would've just do that in the past 8 years lol

Please LMK if you had a similar experience or witnessed something similar; I'm desperate for some information!

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 ...
