F3 Derivative and Cross Chargeability

Hey all! We will be reaching out to an Immigration Lawyer soon but for the mean time would really appreciate all your input and/or past experiences.

My Fiancé is the Principal Beneficiary of an approved I-130 petition charged in the Philippines under F1 category, the wait time is another 5-6 years.

We’re getting married next year and will eventually adjust to the F3 category (we’re willing to wait longer to immigrate with an F3 instead of an F1).

My question is, I was born in a country with a more favourable charge-ability (Portugal) and I’ve been reading up on cross-chargeability and I think we should be eligible once we’re married and I’m a derivative. Although, our lawyer previously said he does not know about the cross chargeability rule, I don’t know if its just cause he hasn’t dealt with a case similar to ours?

Anyways, thoughts on this? And what if the immigration lawyer insists that the rule doesn’t exist?

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 ...
