You go to PSA request a CENOMAR, if married they will issue an Advisory of Marriage Certificate form 5.    Just the way PSA does this.

The fee that is being referred to is the ELIS fee.   This needs to be paid before USCIS will issue your green card.   Most pay this fee after receiving their visa package from the embassy.

You'll get it soon for sure 😃

You have to wait until it says "ready" you can then pay the visa fee and schedule your interview. I believe you have to renew your NBI since you had it over 6 months already.

Congratulations!!! 
 
I got my P4 (Interview appoinment letter) eight days after case complete though it might not be the same for for everyone.
 
As for NBI clearance,even though it says in the Interview Appointment Letter that it should be of one year validity it's best to renew it to be on the safe side 

I think she's referring to a K1 visa which is not your case. Yours is CR1. 

Yes, your case is complete!!  Congratulations!!!   As for your other questions, I must defer to the PI experts.......

Excellent, good luck !

NVC usually take at least 30 days to review Documents after  receiving them. add time for the NVC to schedule the interview. you can schedule your medical the same week or a week earlier. It seem like it will be close to may  before  the visa is approve and issue  The visa is good for 6  months from date of medical. If the wedding is in August that will still leave you with 3 months before it expires. If  for some reason you feel you need more time then do what  Hank said and reschedule your interview but don't delay the NVC process. USCIS and NVC are already slow enough. 

Yes NVC will schedule your interview... BUT ..   once your case file is at USEM you can reschedule your interview date.     You can complete your medical within the same week as the interview if you want.

Visa is valid for up to 6 months, tied to the 1st day of the medical.
 
Rather than delaying NVC, have you thought of scheduling your medical and interview to fit your plans?

I am a March 2017 filer and thinking back now the process and the 12 to 18 month wait seemed so daunting. Honestly for the first few months I really stressed myself out constantly thinking about it. 
 
Now in March 2018 and looking back it doesn't seem so long, I am just waiting now for my interview date. If I could have given myself advice back then it would have been relax and don't stress. The process takes the time it takes, just plan your journey and read what you need to and try get a little more prepared for the next stage. With the exception of mistakes in paperwork you have no control of the time, so just sit back and think of the good stuff (your future) and not the process.
 
Best of luck on your visa journey

Hey everyone! We were really frustrated because I had called USCIS and they told me that they were processing cases from July 2, but I was seeing cases being approved on here from August. But today we were approved!! A small victory in this long battle haha
 
Good luck and speedy wishes to everyone!

Finnnnaaaaaallllyyyyy got my NVC case number. can't sign in yet but atlas thats progress.

Finally!
 
Was able to log in and complete DS 261. Do not see where i go to make the $120 payment though, Does that show up after they review the DS261?
 
What i find weird is i have not received a welcome letter. However i did receive the confirmation email and a PDF with the confirmation letter after i completed DS261

Thanks. Trust me don't wait for the 2 weeks. Call them every day. 
My husband called them last Friday, they ask him to call this Friday, so told him no we wouldn't wait till Friday, so he called them yesterday, they told him again to call again next week friday , so I asked him to call again today, and he did! That was when they gave him the case and invoice numbers over the phone.

We just got our case number and the invoice number now.
