Thanks a lot guys : ) This really lesson the pain a lot.

I will contact NVC a week from now.

A couple questions:

1. I assume all steps with USCIS are now complete and I will no longer received updates from USCIS. Now I just need to deal with NVC and Embassy?

2. After the interview and once my fiancee receives the visa to enter US. Is it ok for her to visit another country so we can have our wedding ceremony in my home country (I am US. Citizen borned in Taiwan and Fiancee is from Japan) before coming back to USA?

2. After the interview and once my fiancee receives the visa to enter US. Is it ok for her to visit another country so we can have our wedding ceremony in my home country (I am US. Citizen borned in Taiwan and Fiancee is from Japan) before coming back to USA? No. After you marry in the US, you file AOS. You can file EAD and AP along with AOS, and those will be included in the fees. AP will give her travel permissions while the AOS is in pending status. The K-1 is only good for the one time entry. Get AP, and you can have your ceremony where you desire.

ToddnJessa,

Thank you for the responds.

Now I am working on I-134 Affidavit of Support. Will having roughly $100k in saving be enough for evidence? also have additional asset in investment brokerage account.

In addition, I do have company letter and pay stubs.

Started working full time as licensed commodity futures broker on November, 2011. I was student in college before then. I do have 1040s for past 3 years. However, by itself alone doesn't meet the requirement.
