For what it's worth, I made a personal trip to the Embassy with my then fiancee. I went there primarily to have them notarize the I-134, but I also took the opportunity to inquire about my wife's case since the Embassy had gotten the file over a month and a half prior and had not sent her anything about an interview. The information officer behind the glass told me her interview might not be scheduled for another two to three months. Two weeks later, the embassy rushed an interview letter out to my fiancee so fast that she actually missed the interview because it didn't arrive in time. She had to reschedule the interview for the following week.

I don't know for sure if my visit to the embassy made a difference in her case, but there is a saying about squeaky wheels...

My thoughts exactly........something about a much bigger (and gwapo) kano that seems to help get things done. ;) Thanks for posting your experience.
