K1 Visa: Changing Embassy for interview

Hi Everyone,

Back in January, I sent in our I-129F documents to submit for the K1 Visa for me and my fiancé. On March 1st, we were given notification that USCIS had received our documents and were processing our request. About a month ago, we realized that the Embassy we had submitted for her to have her interview in (Podgorica, Montenegro) did not do immigration visas. Ever since then we have not really known what to do. I called USCIS, finally talked to a human, and they said we should mail a physical letter detailing how we want to change the specific data block in the I-129F form to a different Embassy. We have two options (neighboring Serbia, or her home country Israel) to choose from. My fiancé is an Israeli citizen living and working in Montenegro with a work permit.

We basically felt that since we had already waited so long, that USCIS would have already contacted us if they NEEDED us to amend something in our paperwork, like requesting to do the interview at an Embassy that cannot do it. We have been following multiple blogs/forums for immigration, and it seems like it is almost our time to get our NOA 2 as people who submitted in February have been getting theirs. We are unsure which of the following steps we should take:

  1. Wait until we get our NOA2, which we figure might automatically assign us an Embassy to go to, or will request for us to notify them of which one we want to go to.
  2. Send the letter to USCIS ASAP telling them which one we want to do our interview at.

Does anyone have any insight or advice they might be able to give us? Thank you in advance!

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! I hope you guys can help submitted by /u/AlarmingUmpire3 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/immigration/comments/j2eni9/ds260_have_you_ever_attended_any_educational/
