RFE was simple. Misunderstood first time met as I said to them when I first met her in person compared to when I actually first met her and what lead up to us falling in love. Meeting with Attorney on Friday. Hopefully, they plan to mail it out the same day. :)

Took about 23 days to receive an approval after they received my RFE.

Although I have 2018-12-10 listed as the date for NVC Received, it was actually between 11-30 & 12-10 but it was on 12-10 that I received the latest reply from AskNVC and they confirmed they had received it.

William, the interview date was 02/25. The visa was issued on 28, and arrived on 03/04 via Premium Delivery. Is that correct?
Our interview is 03/29. I also chose Premium Delivery. I booked one-way ticket to VN, and will book another one-way ticket to the US for both of us depending on the interview result and when the visa is delivered. It seems that it was not too fast enough even with premium delivery. Not sure if there is any other way to speed up the visa delivery?

That is correct, I checked it every day.
There really is no other way to speed up the delivery. All you can do is check CEAC and wait for it to say issued and then check https://ntlogistics.vn/ by using your fiancee's passport number as the Bill of Laden to check. Once it finally starts to populate it should arrive that same day it starts to populate. The way I understand Premium Delivery is that once the Post Office receives the Delivery Document, they will have it to you within 6 hours.

Mailed off AOS Forms on Monday, July 8th. USCIS received them Wednesday, July 10th. Received Multiple text messages from USCIS stating that the AOS Forms were received and will be getting NOA 1 in the mail shortly.
We paid via USPS Money Order.

Just wanted to note that I did not recieve my Wife's official letter in the mail yet for her Interview Date for her 485 but I did talk with USCIS Tier 2 and they informed of us of the date.
Now, I would like to inform people that if you call USCIS and talk with their Tier 2, or even just USCIS in general when it comes to the Adjustment of Status that the Applicant will need to give permission for them to speak with anyone, even if you are the Spouse/Petitioner. They also told us that they can email you the letter but they are not allowed to email the letter until it has been 30 days of the status update.
For example,
My wife's status updated on 9/18 and they're not allowed to email us the letter until 10/20 to give the System time to mail out the Letter. Out Interview Date is 10/29.

Mailed off I-751 via USPS on 8/3
*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
