O1 Visa APPROVED by USCIS but received white 221(g) form at US embassy in the UK. Should I be worried?

On August 12th 2021 I received my official approval notice (I-797) from USCIS stating that my O1 artist visa application had been approved. October 20th 2021 I had my appointment at the US embassy in London to actually have the visa issued, but was instead given a white 221(g) form stating that further “administrative processing” is required, and no further information is required at this time. They kept hold of my DS-160, I-797, and future work memos; but returned my passport to me. There is no official time frame, but I have been told that it could be resolved quickly (a few weeks), or longer but no specific time frame. It’s only been 5 working days since the interview, but I am very on edge as I have no idea what the issue could be, except possibly a background check flagged from the time I lived in the Middle East. I would love to get anyone’s opinion on this and hopefully any information that can calm my nerves. Should I be worried about a denial based on my initial case despite the fact it was already approved? Thank you! Keep your fingers crossed for me!

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/
