You might want to ask your wife-

to ask NVC about 'which visa' you will be interviewing for - K-3 or CR-1/IR-1. (NVC may not know anything about the petition, I assume it was held at USCIS, instead, because of the LPR status)

Things have changed up much, with the K-3 validity, since she first applied for you.

Now, if you are confused re: K-3 vs CR-1, and IF yer wife did NOT file any I-129F form after receiving the NOA-1 on the I-130 petition -

then yer prolly gonna stick with CR-1 processing, at NVC.

I would also verify whether or not she got a call from US Embassy in India, or the NVC office in USA.

re: fingerprints - this is usually done at the Embassy itself (some VFS offices in India do this, instead), and this is done AFTER NVC PROCESSING IS COMPLETED.
