A point or two for clarification:
NVC did not, and never does, approve your case.  NVC is basically a paperwork clearinghouse -- they are checking that you have paperwork for all the required documents.  They do not evaluate the quality of the information nor your qualification for the visa.  The NVC "approval", i.e., stating that you've met the documentary requirements, means only that -- you have the documents you need to move forward. While it is the decision of the individual consular (not immigration) officer at the Embassy -- with his/her supervisor's concurrence -- that a case needs further administrative processing, it is a decision made within fairly strict parameters that limit the officer's choices.  This is especially true in some STEM areas -- basically, officers are told that when a case meets these conditions, you must send it for further processing/review, making it really not the officer's choice/decision. 

A couple of important corrections.  First — you did not pay for the visas.  You paid for the application processing and visa interview.  It may or may not result in a visa.  Second — you cannot get them visas.  They must qualify for them in their own merits.
 
Two applications had to be filed.  There is no option for two people to be processed on one visa application/fee payment.
 
To specifically answer your question — you must pay the fee before you can schedule the visa interview.   You will need the MRV fee receipt number to get to the interview scheduling site, so you are going in the right order.  They will need two appointments, but you can schedule them on the same day (on any day that has two interview slots open, that is).

I wanted to thank you again for your help! DX eventually called me to clarify things and the second company is subcontracting for them, which is why their name appears in my invoice. The first time I went to the site to find the courier and register, a page opened and there was a message with bold text and possibly barcodes etc. Some was instruction. I was looking at the page while on Zoom with my boyfriend and I decided to read the text better later on.
But just in case, I copied and paste the text in a document.
The day after when I went back to the site the instruction page was gone and I can no longer get to it. All I have is the pasted text. I read it 100 times and I am not too sure of which part is 'the first page' as the initial formatting is gone.
Is this the part I need to print? Thanks

Glad to help.  Hope all goes well with your process.

With E-2 status (Treaty Trader), you have no rights, privileges, exemptions, or immunities that you need to waive unless you are working for (i.e., your salary is paid by) a foreign government or an international organization.  You indicate you work for a “company” headquartered in the UK, not the UK government nor an international organization, making it highly unlikely that you would need to file the I-508.  

There is no set time for a response; depends on the complexity of the case, the number of other advisory opinions they are working on, whether they ned more information, etc.  You cannot reach out to them directly.
 
I believe the overstay will include all of the time from when he started the overstay until he departed — there is no way they could speculate that “but for being arrested” he would have left any earlier than he did.

Without further information about what was discussed at the medical, what the 221g letter said, and the answers to a couple things already asked here but not answered, anything anyone says will be mere speculation.  If I have to guess, I would agree with what others have said — there is something that they want to see followed up on in 6 months…a potential communicable disease issue, controlled substance use/abuse, or something else.  Have you discussed exactly what happened at the medical with your fiancée to help narrow down the issue(s)?b

The State Department says that divorce decrees are attainable from Cambodia, that there are no alternative documents, and no exceptions.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but this is not exactly within my area of expertise, as it involves the USCIS side of the process.
 
IF the I-751 was filed, earlier posts on the procedures to obtain a boarding foil are, to my knowledge, the best way to proceed if the plan is to fly from Japan into the US.  If it was NOT filed, I will leave it to others to assist, as anything I said would be pure speculation and not necessarily helpful or accurate!
