Just summited our N-400 application today online. Hopefully we get in before the October 20th deadline.

They are not resident aliens yet though. Not until they have their green cards. We did a K-1, and as soon as my husband had his SSN, we just went to my credit union and opened a joint account. We also have our own personal accounts there. It was no big deal and did not take days and days. If that's what you've encountered, I'd try a different bank/credit union.

Children are hers. Mine by choice!

So, first understand words mean things. You say, "We have three children...". For K2 visas, they must be HER natural children. If YOU are the father, that changes everything. Please clarify. Assuming you are not the father of any of these children, you wait for the I-129F to be approved and to hear from Manila. Then yes, each person seeking a visa will need a visa application. That's what the DS160 is. Adding them to the petition opens a door to them all to apply for visas. Each will need a medical exam and maybe some vaccinations. None of that can be done until the visa applications and fees have been submitted. Since everybody will be in Manila, you can bring all to the interview, but even the 15 year old may not be asked any questions. Note also that each will need their own supporting documents, such as birth certificates. Only your fiancee needs an NBI report unless the 15 year old becomes 16 before the interview.

In San Diego I ended up finding a place that filled out the form without requiring another full medical exam, they needed the previous vaccine info filled out by the doctor in Kenya (which we had) and proof of the new vaccine which we had evidence of from a CVS print out that we requested when getting the vaccine. The health clinic charged us $350 but the doctor knew exactly what to do and finished it in 15min.

Congrats! Thank you for the detailed report. I think the scrutiny was natural - switching from traditional marriage to same sex marriage. Adjustment right outside the 90 day window (which isn't a thing) but can make it look as if you waited deliberately to file soon after 90 days. Either way, I-130 approval is big. Celebrate it!
