Note that the visa will be valid for 6 months (maximum) from the date of the visa medical, not the date of the interview nor visa issuance. This rule applies to all immigrant visas, regardless of the issuing consulate. My spouse visa was valid for only 1.5 months when it was issued. My interview was re-scheduled to around 4 months after my medical.

You are required to submit a marriage certificate from the jurisdiction where you got married -- in your case, Turkey. Refer to the DOS Reciprocity page for Turkey for the required marriage document. No need for Iranian marriage certificate. Note also that when your wife's case gets to the NVC/consulate stage, she will need a police certificate from Turkey, but not from Iran. I got married in the US. I am a Philippine passport holder and I have no marriage certificate from the PH. USCIS, NVC, and the US consulate were all fine with just my US marriage certificate.

Terminal fee should already be included in the ticket price -- https://clarkinternationalairport.com/terminal-fee-to-be-included-in-cost-of-air-tickets/

No emigration tax. Just the usual travel tax, same as what Filipino tourists pay. Check that it's not already included in the ticket price. Look for any line item that equals 1,620 pesos or USD equivalent.

Just list the address in the DS-260 and get the appropriate police certificate for that country. With proof of legal residence, the applicant has the option (but not required) to request for visa case transfer to the consulate in their new country of residence.

Not an option for spouse of GC holder. Your fiancee cannot adjust status while in the US on VWP/ESTA, even if you get married today. From https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-7-part-b-chapter-7 -- "A noncitizen admitted as a nonimmigrant without a visa under a Visa Waiver Program is barred from adjustment of status.[...] These bars do not apply, however, to those seeking to adjust status as an immediate relative of a U.S. citizen or VAWA-based applicants." Regardless, if you are ready to get married now, go ahead and do so while your fiancee is in the US. You may file an I-130 for her after you have a valid marriage certificate. Then she should leave before her 90 days on ESTA are up. She may visit the US again, even while the I-130/F2A case is pending, subject to CBP inspection as usual. Also, I recommend you apply for naturalization soon after you are eligible. Once you become a US citizen, you may request for your spouse's visa case to be upgraded to IR1 (spouse of USC). That way, the visa bulletin will be irrelevant to her case, and she can be in line for visa interview soon after I-130 approval and NVC review. At least, much sooner than if her case remains under F2A (spouse of LPR).

Did you have your visa interview at the US embassy in Santo Domingo, DR?

Thanks for the heads-up, Captain. I was beginning to worry about those intermittent Error 500s.

Yes, separate biometrics appointment is still a requirement for CDJ. After the visa interview, applicants need to wait days, weeks, or longer before their visas can be issued.

You may request the consulate to return your daughter's passport without the visa. It will delay her visa case processing, but should have no impact to your other family members' cases. There's no time limit for AP, but as others mentioned, you may sue to force the consulate to action with a WOM.
