Law Firm mistake - EB3 I-140

Hello everyone,

What would you do in my shoes? My I-140 has been approved but the lawyer made the mistake of selecting AOS instead of consular processing, even tho we discussed several times my OPT was ending, and I was going back home.

In summary, he presented me 3 options, but that’s only after I pressed for the information. He was not clear with anything before. Option 1. Stick with I-824. It would probably take an absurd amount of time (9 months+) to transfer current I-140 to NVC. Option 2. Apply for another I-140, with correct option selected now. Premium processing. It would cost $3200 plus legal fees (I am going to press to not pay legal fees). Option 3. Nuclear option, go back to the US with a current student visa I have to do a master and do AOS, but that is not a good option cause I would have to stop working remote. It would cost more money to do that than actually paying option 2.

Option 2 seems the best option. I just have to swallow the amount of money I have to pay. I am talking to my company to see what they think. I just unfolded this situation with my own research.

Thank you!

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 ...
