hahaha sorry I don't mean to imply anything 

So... and I'm afraid to ask you this, but... which number am I calling? 

202-647-6575 or call 202-647-4000 and it will direct you to the same place

Okay so I just called NVC at 603 334 0700, option 8 for people who have already had their interview at the embassy,  and a lovely gentleman said that he sees that the administrative processing for the social media has not been completed yet. 

We talked about the question about whether or not the case is at the embassy, and I realized that that is a silly topic since in this digital age, the information that needs to be checked can be transferred digitally to other agencies (in this case, our physical folder is in Madrid, but they have sent his security info to some other agency to be checked)... soooo ... yes, our case is "at" the embassy but they have requested that other agencies do this security check. Guess it doesn't matter "where" that is being done...

So the only new info I have now is that the AP for the social media is not yet complete.

Sounds like your case is like mine and is undergoing administrative review at the embassy. If you are the USC, see if you can request a supervisor to look into your case. I was told it’s your right to request a supervisor. I understand. Our anniversary will mark 3 years the 28th

No, but you can request a supervisor if you’re the USC

Is there any point of that if they can't call and speed the process. To me it seems the embassy really don't they give to whom they like

I don't think Department of State can do anything when it's at the US embassy. You need to get your governor or state representative involved they can inquire and figure out what the situation is.
