Canadian contractor travelling to USA for personal reasons but still working while there?

Hey all, I’m a Canadian and I have an American partner who is still living in America. Due to Covid and the border closures, I ended up seeking work from home employment so that I could spend more time in America with my partner.

I am a contracted Canadian by an American company and pay my taxes in Canada. My home residence is also in Canada. All I need is my laptop and phone and I can work from anywhere in the world. I will only ever stay a total of 5 months in America (2/3 weeks here and there) as to not lose my healthcare in Canada. When I do travel to the states, my position will not require me to do anything outside of my normal job scope (I manage a customer care department).

When crossing at the border (usually land border but sometimes air) obviously my answer for reason of travel is personal since the purpose of my trip is to see my partner and not to work. But I will also be working as well too- but the intent of travel is not to work or earn additional, unclaimed income.

What kind of implications (if any) does this have? I see no issue with it but I know that it doesn’t matter what I think and comes down to the decision of the border agent.. my accountant encouraged me to look into this as he felt the same way but unsure enough that he didn’t want to provide me with a concrete answer. Any info is much appreciated.

NVC Case FE Review note

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!
