Not yet. Got a second actively review notification almost a month back.

How long did it take for NVC to clear fees and post as PAID?

No updates to date. However, first parent NVC DQ. I am thinking it will continue to progress or wait until 2nd parent approves. Who knows i guess.

Updated from 1 week to 2 months again. One parent has interview scheduled already.

Once you submit all the forms and documents both financial and civil, did you guys get an immediate email confirming receipt?

Never heard of that happening

No, you won't get anything until the DQ email (or a RFE).

When submitting supporting documents to NVC before scheduling interview, do you also submit the police clearance/crimminal record?

Does the criminal record have to be from the current country of residence or any other places where a person used to live?

 

The whole process is set out step by step here, which tells you everything you need to submit - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-5-collect-financial-evidence-and-other-supporting-documents/step-7-collect-civil-documents.html

 

Just in case you hadn't found that webpage yet, as I found it super useful. 

 

And make sure you look at the country specific documents too to make sure you get the right version of everything.

I just realized that it's been 2 months but I haven't received a NOA1 yet. Is this normal?

You should be able to see it on your account, under the documents tab.

After your case is documentarily qualified at NVC, what's the next step?

See the link I gave you on a previous post, step 10 - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-8-scan-collected-documents/step-9-upload-and-submit-scanned-documents.html

 

You're added to the queue for an interview and just wait to be notified of it.

 

Good luck.

So my mom says she will need my original documents for her process. Am I really expected to mail her all my original certificates, passport, naturalization certificate etc? I find it hard to believe but can't find info

Did she say what she needed them for?

This is true. When I went in my interview I had to take all the original and you have to mail all the original stuff to your parents.
