We had our interview on 1/29/2019 but got a soft/temporary denial (221(g))  for my 2017 Tax transcript.  I brought my 2017 W2s and full 1040 and everything else which was accepted by the Department of state but evidently the rules changed between Documentarily Qualified and the interview, per a representative at NVC and the woman at the 221g window at the Manila embassy.  Word to the wise, bring your IRS TAX TRANSCRIPT WITH YOU TO THE INTERVIEW!  It took me a week to get my transcript as I had submitted it with a typo on the address in 2017, I had to call to get it faxed to me, then when I saw that my personal info was masked I went in to the local IRS office to get a copy with my info unmasked.  Sent it to the embassy on 2/07/2019 and was in AP until last night when the status switched to ISSUED!!! Wahoo so ready to be together with my wife.  This is a long stressful journey but worth it.  Good luck to everyone else still waiting on their Visa, there is light at the end of the tunnel.  

Correct.  We were put in 221g for missing Tax Transcript on 01/29/2019.  We had entire 1040 and W2s.  Supplied Transcript to embassy on 02/07/2019.  Still in AP.

In my hard copy approval letter it states they have sent my petition to NVC.  Is this standard and I have to wait for them to actually send it, or did they really send it already?  I called USCIS but they just said to inquire with NVC.  I guess my next step is to call NVC but I feel it is too early as our approval was just on the 4th.  My status on both USCIS sites is still case received so no help there.  How long should I wait before inquiring with NVC?  I plan on expediting at NVC due to health issues that my wife can help with. I have a signed letter from the doctor asking as much. I have an upcoming trip to the Philippines last week of January and I would like to be present at the interview.  My understanding is that this can be done as soon as the NVC receives the case, no need to wait for case number.  Anyone have experience expediting at NVC for Manila Embassy? 

Today is my 1st anniversary....wish me luck...&still waiting for NOA2
