We have same situation and got same RFE submitted everything second time 12/28 and still waiting just because of the letter of unemployment. It's ridiculous it takes that long and it's not mentioned anywhere. People at the call canter are so random, sometimes you get extremely annoyed person which can't wait to hang up on your, and once in a while you get a sweet person which helps you. 

Yep, when I was told the first time that I called that we needed a letter, I checked every resource I could to see where it stated that and I could not find anything. When I called the second time and they told me the first thing I tried to tell them how I could not find it on any of their instructions and insisted how it could be that we needed that and they just said there was nothing else we not they could do.. On the bright side, you’re only about a week later than our second submission so your time should be coming up soon

Under the DS-260 documents they ask for "Photographs". Is this "proof of bonafide marriage" photos or just the 2x2 passport style photos for the Applicant?

Thanks.

PS: when I click on any NVC link with instructions of documents submission, I get an error page

Just the 2x2 passport style photo, any proof of bona fide marriage you can put under additional docs

I saw on FB someone mention that they recommend anyone going to an interview, to bring the new DS-5540 form ( https://eforms.state.gov/Forms/ds5540.PDF ) .

 

Does anyone here have any additional info on this?

Apparently only for those who have filed after Feb 24th.  However, it's better to have it prepared in the event that they ask for it.
