As we experienced and learned from this forum that once your case is in AP, we should not bother Embassy too much. Files get lined up when we submit documents but if we enquire again and again they get behind every time when they put back in line. It is hard to be patient after that long of the wait but good thing in your case is they asked for New Medical which is I believe they are ready to issue you the visa so please be patience. E-mails don't help when the case is in AP and in this situation patience helps unless a Congressman/Senator makes the enquiry for you. Good luck!

Yes - you should get it from the office where the passport issued with your address in it. Don't even open the Can of worms for different address because they will be asking to do the address change.

In 9 months - did you contact the New Delhi Embassy or DOS here in US? If you did not then I suggest you to do so by calling DOS first. Of course they won't have any response to make you feel comfortable but next thing you should do to contact your local Congressman/Senator, that will stir the pot. You should not proceed to different category unless you don't have results for the first. If something is holding K-1 it certainly won't go away that easily by doing CR-1. You will get the results in matter of days not by looking at CEAC status but by contacting the people I mentioned. Good Luck !!!!!!!!!!!!

I just paid the IV bill and printed the cover sheet. Should I mail now or wait to complete DS-260 before I send it? I won't be able be able to complete DS-260 until the fee status changes to PAID which going to be probably tomorrow or day after. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

Good thing you opened up someone can understand. This is what you want to do is AOS and don't need to be stressed if your wife is a US Citizen. I try to look up this information but was not provided or I could not find. To file I-130 there is not much you need to provide at the time you apply but make sure the residence addresses, time you provide living together are accurate and they comply with the documents you provide. You can have one or two US Citizens Affidavits who have the knowledge of you marriage and how they got the knowledge of you marriage and where you are living together as married Husband and Wife.
Once you file for AOS then the burden on you to proof that this is a bonafide marriage and you will have Work Permit and Social Security number way before your interview. Then you can't say you could not open bank account or sign a lease etc. I would love to go see Turkey one day!!!! Good Luck
