After I'm done with the procedure I'm free to help if there's anything you'd like to know or how to handle.

I'm sending letters from both my employers verifying my position and pay. For one of my jobs my manager isn't able to get a letterhead from corporate. Is a notarized letter ok? Any tips?

Letter to verify your employment with your wages etc. on corporate letter head with the signature and contact number of authorized officer don't need to be notorized. Instead if your employer is willing to provide an affidavit in which your employer will provide all company information such as EIN number and State Tax ID number if any, and verify your employment with the company may work. Make sure to include your pay stubs as a supporting document.

NVC has received our case but I was told it may take up to 42 days to enter it??? I called the nonimmigrant line. So we didn't get a number??? I'm a bit confuse

42 days is the official answer. Call them again tomorrow, you can call either number and once you provide your receipt number they will give you answer. Good Luck

That should not be a problem since passports has expiration and issuance dates. Use the new passport on your DS 160 and bring both passports during the interview.
