B2 visa for child to visit father in US with a pending COS from B2 to F1 in US?

Hello! I have a friend who is traveling the US (until March w 6 month B2) who just decided he wants to stay for school and will be applying for a COS to F-1.

He has an 8 y/o daughter in Brazil who lives with her Mother (parents are divorced) and wants her to be able to visit especially since the COS will probably take a year to get approved and he'll be landlocked. He was also in the US in 2018 and wanted her to visit so they could go to Disney but her B2 visa was denied (214b). Note, she had applied to travel here with her mother but that's all I know.

Any tips on getting her visa approved this time?

Would it help for her to apply with a different relative (paternal aunt or grandmother) so her mother would be considered a reason for her to return?

Or better to apply with her mother if she has stronger ties/reason to return than other relatives?

Would applying before or after his COS application is submitted make a difference?

Any extra documents we should submit like, her school tuition being paid in advanced, etc?

She's obsessed with Disney and he would love the opportunity to take her so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

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 ...
