that's very busy office. 

ur wife its not the first immigrant non english speaker patient that they handle for immigration purposes medical 
 
just please dont brought that violation thing subject up to the hospital. what do u want to gain here? 
 
i dont know about ur wife, but i ( the immigrant) just want to get the medical... period. if i dont like them for some reason, i will bring the business somewhere else. there's no shortage of civil surgeons  here in the US

just to be clear because u write i-693 but u post on consular processing group, where is ur wife gonna do her medical? inside US or outside US?  i can say for inside US, there's no genital, breast check etc since this is not ob-gyn annual check up, and for south east asia countries, there's never happened either. that's will be discriminatory if woman have to endure that check while man didnt. i cant say much about CONUS. 
 
as in you bringing up the violation subject about hospital have the provide translator, is it US hospital or outside US?  i assume it's US hospital since u brought US law on it.  i work in the US hospital at the moment so i know a a bit about translator situation. many interpreter available in my hospital are indeed on call ( [phone) and not in person. there's no way hospitals hiring full time interpreter to cater all language in person. for my language, if it's the case, they wont have anything to do since i never met single indonesian in the past 3.5 years i live in my state. 
 
if you dont like that hospital because u think they violate the law, why dont u :
1. bring ur own translator OR
2. find another place to do medical ( again my assumption this is medical inside the US, i know outside US the option is limited). for example in NYC there's more than 100 surgeon available. 
 
there's many people who did AOS inside US and cant speak english at all, have no issue getting their medical and submitted to USCIS and then get their GC. most of the time they are accompany by their family member during doctor visit to help the language barrier. if u said ur turkish is basic, then how u speak with ur wife? i assume english ? i think u over thinking this situation. 
 
 

depend on local FO availability.

Yes. She can change both first name and last name on N-400 application

i just did UK visa last july 2023. $136 at that time filed the first day im eligible to apply ( 3 months before the trip)and already completed the trip in October. if u wanna save money for shipping, u can send with whatever mail service TO NYC. it doesnt have to be UPS. i bought UPS 2 DAY AIR ( u cant do 3 days ground ), either 1 day or 2 day air, via shipstation and just put the label inside the envelope. only cost me $10 ( new england). VFS such a racket but unfortunately many countries use their service. their customer service is super horrible. its like they dont understand english. i asked A, they answered Z.
 
usps "lost" my package for 2 weeks before they found it. by then i already did new passport ( need to go to NYC !) so i just role the dice, and they actually approved my application and put the vignette / visa sticker on my old passport that's void. what i did when i enter UK, i brought both old passport + visa and also my new passport. no problem

there's a path for both ur kids and ur husband. you cant "give" citizenship to your husband. all you can do is file petition to him, if it's approved with additional process, he can get his greencard....along the way, years later, he can file his citizenship by himself to USCIS. to get a GC through consular processing roughly between 1,5-2 years. ( not citizenship)
 
 
 

whatever you need to change, you can do it during the interview. dont do it now

did u file tax for 2020 and 2021 ? 
what's ur adjustment gross income on 2022 tax transcript? can you explain more about "redact"? 
 
in my understanding, ur AGI for 3 years need to be over 125% of poverty guideline
ur current income its not the issue here, might need joint sponsor
 
do you have the copy of ur i-864? only you can check and see whats the problem. cant say much without looking at it IMO
their RFE is always generic like that and not specific. 
 
dont make a cover letter unless you are 100% sure that u qualify WITHOUT joint sponsor. 
 
u only get 1 shot, better make sure you know whats the real issue. 
 
 
 
 

send everything in 1 package (paper-filing) to avoid problems. sometimes USCIS thinks that its consular processing (i-130 online).
before u send, scan everything to you have exact copy
 

not for commonwealth contries, schengen countries. all strong countries required in person biometric. i will say for UK slightly different. i applied few months ago and i can do biometric in local USCIS field office and have to send my passport to NYC to VFS. there's no other way. USPS magically " lost" my passport, i have to get a new one ( travel to NYC in Person to do biometric), and of course the day i went to NYC to get a new passport, USPS "found" my package.

some schengen countries are more easier to apply than the others. 
the netherlands is the one that is "easier" in my opinion. i applied once through the netherlands. i heard germany is "harder" so i dont really want to try. also the scandinavian countries famously "harder". i think you should look on travel forum as well, many of them knows in ins and out. 
 
and most embassy/consulat didnt even process directly for visa application. i know for example the netherlands its through VFS. 
one thing for sure, no matter what she need to get her biometric taken in person
 
visa application is usually time consuming and very expensive even when you have a GC. unless u wanna go to canada/mexico. you dont need to apply visa for that countries because you have GC.

give 2-3 weeks for SSN to arrive. can go to SSA office to apply if u didnt get it after 3 weeks. 
a kid enter 11/19/23 ( no pack whatsoever) and 2 weeks later the SSN card arrived. 
no GC yet. and ELIS fee was paid before kid entered US.

try to file by paper and include cover letter with explanation like what u wrote on ur original post. just my 0.002 along with short timeline explanation/detail

they never reveal how did they transfer the information from USCIS to NVC. not that i know of.
my assumption is electronically. but that's only guessing. i wouldnt worry about it too much. save your energy for other matter that's important
 
all you can do is wait and make sure you check the junk / spam folder on ur email. 
 

can you wait a little bit longer to switch bank until she's done with the interview?
shouldnt be an issue, u are allow to change bank but since it's not gonna be long (i assume) for her to get interview, why rock a boat?

someone (USC) who didnt file tax for the past 2 years (2021-2022)  got RFE for i-864 when he filed for his mother 2 months ago. 
 
situation : 
1. he didnt make enough for the past 2 years 
2. he need joint sponsor ( that he never submit in the initial submission)
3. this person said " i had a business and i lost / didnt make money. therefore i didnt file tax"
 
i told him to go to CPA to file that tax 2021-2022. and suddenly voila, he can produce tax return report that he got from CPA.
he cant produce tax transcript, something about website is closed for the moment to file tax ? ( not clear), but AFAIK, even when u lost for ur business, u still need to file tax no matter what, even when he finally got joint sponsor who made more than enough.
