Hello! My father has a similar timeline. I also applied Sep 2021, approved July 2022. We got the notice with requirements from the NVC electronically. We have questions about what is needed from me, the petitioner. It says in one of the steps, I'll copy paste. Could you let me know if this applies to me? the visa type on the description is throwing me off.
Thanks
