“Annulled” does not mean what you think it means in this context. ‘Expunge’ is NOT a thing in the world of US immigration.
As you can see, the VJ member who did not disclose his criminal history had to take a much longer and more expensive route to get his partner here.
Your issue isn’t necessarily the crime itself, it’s the failure to disclose it as required on a legal form, the I-129F.
The CO will have zero interest in your scrapbook, unfortunately. The documents you are required to bring to the interview will be included in your 'packet 3' email.
An attorney cannot do anything here. Numerically limited visa numbers are what they are.
Consider yourselves lucky that it was reinstated at all- not everyone gets to have that.
YMMV, but we only sent quarterly ones from the beginning of marriage. Other items sent: evidence of jointly purchased /owned vehicles, joint insurance policies, beneficiary info for retirement accounts, joint tax transcripts.

Deceiving CBP about your intentions (adjusting on B2) can get him a misrep bar. Do you really want to take that chance?
The queue is what it is. Just petition properly and wait your turn.
“Trolling”? Jeez. That person is a very well respected member of visa journey.
You’re new here. You’d do well to avoid being rude when people try to help you.

I’m not sure why you started this thread, since it seems you already have the answers.
Does your CEAC status say “issued”? That is what you will see when the passport with visa is ready to be mailed to you.
