So whatever PCC that you have, just bring that one. No need to get another one. They usually focus on marriage certificates and birth certificates. 

Ok. Thanks!

but I get my visa in hand after my 2 years anniversary ( like in March or April- with AP time in case), will the visa be IR1 or CR1 category? 

What ultimately matters is the day you enter the US with Immigrant Visa. So even if embassy makes mistake CBP should correct it. 8 C.F.R. § 235.11(b) is very clear: "Correction of endorsement on immigrant visa. If the alien is subject to the provisions of section 216 of the Act, but the classification endorsed on the immigrant visa does not so indicate, the endorsement shall be corrected and the alien shall be admitted as a lawful permanent resident on a conditional basis, if otherwise admissible. Conversely, if the alien is not subject to the provisions of section 216 of the Act, but the visa classification endorsed on the immigrant visa indicates that the alien is subject thereto (e.g., if the second anniversary of the marriage upon which the immigrant visa is based occurred after the issuance of the visa and prior to the alien's application for admission) the endorsement on the visa shall be corrected and the alien shall be admitted as a lawful permanent resident without conditions, if otherwise admissible."

 

But sometimes CBP and/or USCIS makes mistake. In that case, you have to file a I-90 and check (D) as the reason for submitting (My existing card has incorrect data because of Department of Homeland Security error). That filing reason is free to file.

Ok so apparently someone with DQ April 23 says that their status shows in transit.

 

Really? So in transit means that embassy will schedule  interview dates next..?

You’re talking about updating on CEAC? If so, not sure if that’s a good idea. NVC will need to review them again wouldn’t they? That’ll delay it even more.
