Trying to help friend in French Foreign Legion visit the USA

Hi,

I have a good friend who's trying to visit the USA (Seattle, Washington) for this Christmas season. He is a Mongolian citizen in the French Foreign Legion, a military unit that promises French citizenship after five years. He has been in the Legion for two years and thus has been living in both France and his station in Djibouti during that time. He has also previously studied in Seattle for college, but I do not believe he completed a degree. Recently, he reached out to me about needing a visa to visit the US and asking if I could give him a visa invitation (I am a 20 yr old US citizen). I've done some quick research and it turns out there is such thing as a visa invitation from a US citizen, but other Reddit posts I found say that they're not useful at all for helping a non-citizen get a tourist visa. Can someone shed light on this topic or direct me to any helpful resources?

Also, how hard is it generally to get a tourist visa for the US as a Mongolian citizen? Would my friend's status in the French Foreign Legion help? Thanks for your help.

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 ...
