Additional documents don't reset the timeline. Make sure you add them under "Other" to be sure. And make sure you hit submit or the NVC will not be able to see them. Good luck! -
Update for anyone who sees this. The Tokyo embassy's medical exam uploading system was updated and the clinic's was outdated. They updated their system and sent it again and assured me it would be received. I kept checking the "visa status" page and it changed from Administrative Review to Approved/Sent a few days after.

Japan Embassy Interview Times
TedBrosby replied to gooblue's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports
For us (IR-1, not KR-1), it was approximately three weeks. But it's a very "in the dark" system. We called the embassy and they were pretty much useless in giving us info. Just a bunch of, "Check the website...". Honestly not a fan of how the embassy treats us. -
CR1 from application to DQ approval is around 9-13 months. That's if you do everything right and have all your documents on hand. KR1 is faster because your spouse is not a legal immigrant yet (they don't get an SSN and cannot work). If your goal is to be together, KR1 followed by marriage in the US and applying for CR1 after getting married is the shortest path toward "together". We applied for IR-1 in February 2021 and barely moved to the US last month on April 7th. We didn't get our interview until March 2022.
