Impact of recent interview waiver announcement on H1B stamping (India)

I came to US on F1 Visa in 2017. Since then I travelled to India once in 2018 when I was still on my Student Visa. I got my H1B approved in 2019 but haven't travelled to India since then. I might need to travel to India sometime in next few months but I am bit confused about the stamping process. The US Consulate website shows that not all the consulates in India are fully open yet and those that are open are only available for Emergency appointments (what qualifies as an Emergency appointment is bit vague). There also aren't many slots available even at the consulate offices that are open.

How does the recent announcement regarding interview waiver impact my stamping process? I previously was never refused a Visa. Do I still need to schedule an interview slot and then hope that the consulate waives my interview? Or can I just skip scheduling the interview process with the US Consulate because of the interview waiver announcement?

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/

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 ...
