Long story cut short:

The 2014 taxes transcript was taking very long to get. Don't know why...

That's the reason it took us long to send all and be given the first scan date. We could have had everything done by late December.

Therefore, we sent all except 2014 taxes transcript, including an addendum in lieu of it.

Later, we were able to get it, so we mailed it (just in case). When they received it, we were given this second scan date.

It's not technically a checklist, but it feels like it.

Anyway, since we rely on a joint-sponsor to meet the requirements and all is OK on that side, we are positive that everything will be alright and faster than predicted ;-)

Ok, thanks for sharing info.

The scandate will most likely be 2/16 i think they mark the letters with the date and then when they scan them in to system, they will have that day.

Mine had at least.

Oh I sure hope that's what will happen for me too. I'm ready to hear the 2nd best words I've been waiting to hear since this whole process began: Case Complete! The best words being "your visa is approved!" :)

Here's hoping NVC is getting caught up and we don't have to wait too long.
