Parents' done interview and visa approved! Now, booking their flight . Thank you guys for sharing helpful information while on this journey.

They say, 20-30 days.

Yes, same here, that was good to know. On to the next step...

Yes, AOS I-864 for each parent. Now, you will have to wait for the NVC number and Invoice Identification number to be assigned, before you can do anything else, it takes 2-8 weeks. You can start calling the NVC next week to follow up, to know if the numbers are all ready available for your case. Once the NVC number and IIN are assigned, you can log-in to https://ceac.state.gov/CTRAC/Invoice/signon.aspx to pay for AOS I-864 processing fee and wait for days to appear PAID in the payment portal (my mother's case was about 2 days). Once its paid, then you can start completing the AOS I-864 forms, print cover sheet, gather documents and send it to the NVC.
Don't wait for the instruction letter from the NVC, check your NVC status time to time, to be able to see when you can pay for Immigrant Visa Processing fee, because you can only complete the IV forms once it appears paid.
I just finished my mother's IV forms and here are the information that I didn't have that needed in the IV forms, gather this, if applicable to you, while waiting for you AOS and IV bill:
Name of Your Parent's Parents (your grandparents), Birthdates and birthplace, if not living anymore, year of death.
Information on children : address of children if they are not living with your parents (I have 5 siblings and 3 of them do not live with my parents, so it was challenging to contact them for their addresses, considering slow internet connection and they're working).
Employment record (if had worked or working): Name of Office or Employer, Address and Contact number; Name of Supervisor, Dates of employment
Education (if there's a background): Name of institution, Course (College or University), date of attendance
I think that was it..I will think of more and let you know .

Only one payment for both parents for AOS fees. When you pay for your mom, it covers your dad. Once your mom is paid, I mean when your mom's payment appears PAID online. Then call the NVC to make your dad's AOS fee paid too and ask to send you the barcode sheet for your dad.
But you have to pay the immigrant visa fee for each parent.
Yes, two sets of AOS and IV packages, one set for each parent.

I think that he is a third-party agent, because you are the petitioner and he is definitely not the principal applicant.

Oh, I hope you didn't think that I'm talking about you, because it's not you. It was all my fault, I should had read more but now I know better, I exactly know what to do now with my dad's paper works, to avoid the mess . Thank you. Happy New Year!

I received the emails today to send DS-261 Choice of Agent and to pay for Affidavit of Support (AOS) processing fee. I did it, and now waiting for the AOS to show paid.

Same here! I have to edit my signature, because my official notice says our cases are transferred in Nebraska Services Center. After that long wait for these updates, I'm sure can wait within 60 days, hoping for good news
