My IR-1 London to US Timeline Help

[Paulonto 29]

Ok.... so I'm about to embark in the greatest adventure of my life, and on the one day I feel with no paddle in an ocean (Atlantic preferably), and another day I feel like I'm juggling too may paddles in a waterless pool, so I thought I'd do a thread so I won't get myself lost. Extra advice welcome even if minute 

 

First, would someone be kind please to confirm that the following 14 points are correct and up to date please?

 

Also, is there a time limit between receiving the post-I130 "packet of forms" and sending it back please?

 

I have been married to my USC wife for 9 years and she has lived with me in the UK 8 years.

 

Many thanks !!!!!

It was too late to edit but I forgot to mention that this will be a DCF.
