Why haven't my fiancee receive anything yet?

Finally got the reply from the consulate by email. Here is what they said:

Dear Mr. Chiang:

We have sent the beneficiary an Instruction Package to the following

address 60T LE QUANG SUNG, P. 6, Q. 6, HO CHI MINH. As indicated in

your email, there isn't a big different in her address. Therefore, it

not necessary for us to resent the packet to the beneficiary. However,

we attached the Instruction Package here for your usage. The form

DS-230 is also available at:

http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/forms/forms_1342.html.

The beneficiary is requested to return the completed DS-230 Part I to us

as soon as possible. We will schedule the beneficiary for a visa

interview after we receive this form. The beneficiary's case may be

terminated if the beneficiary fails to pursue the application within one

year May 26.

So what does this mean? They said they sent it and they feel it's not necessary to resend it. However, my fiancee still have nothing. They attached a Package 3 for in pdf in my email and had a link to a DS-230 form. So what should I do? Download the Package 3.pdf and DS-230 form in the link and have my fiancee fill those out? Will that do? I'm at a lost here on what's right and what should I do.

Almost the same thing happen to me. They said the sent out my interview letter already but it was 2-3 weeks until my interview and I didn't have it yet for my wife's medical exam. What I did was I printed out the email and brought it to the consulate's front window and then they let my wife in the consulate to pick up the packet. It's was pretty painless and easy. They will let you do it monday-thursday 1:00pm - 3:00pm. What I would do in your situation is let your fiancee fill out the ds-230 and bring it to the consulate with that email and let her turn it in or if they need to give you something else, pick it up anyways. The should explain to your fiancee what she needs to do.

I thought they won't let non U.S. citizens in? So all she needs to do now is to fill out the DS-230? She can just have it printed out and sent it in? Is it the same as if the consulate send it to her?

They let anyone in at their schedule times if you have a reason to go in. I am not sure if they would accept the DS-230 if she just hands it in like that, I did CR-1 so I turned in the DS-230 to the NVC. That what I would just do in your situation. Try to turn it in. If not try to go inside and see if she can pick up the packet.

I told my fiancee to go to the consulate and see if they let her in. She printed out the email that the consulate sent to me. They let her in. Anyway, she explained her case and they gave her the first page of the DS-230. However, they didn't have the rest of the documents. They told her to print out the packet 3 attachment that was with the email. They said she should fill that out and turn the documents in person. So I guess this is good now? I really hope so.
