You can travel with the visa as issued. Just take the information with the original dates and the updated schedule change information to show it us the same training and the presenters changed the date -- so date change was outside your control.

Another issue with IAD is that international flights usually do not arrive at the terminal. You deplete into a "people mover" which does not leave plane-side until it is full. This can easily add at least 20-30 minutes to the stated arrival time before you can even begin the official papaperwork and baggage process.

If that is sll you have, it's pretty weak. Neither of these two things can be directly tied to you and your fiancee meeting one another. Yes, you bought a ring -- but the receipt doesn't show for whom, if anyone, you bought it for. And, even if it did, it doesn't show you were together at the time of purchase (which you weren't, were you?) or anytime before or after the ring was purchased. An airline ticket alone shows nothing other than you bought a ticket. Together with a boarding pass, it shows you travelled to Pakistan. What do you have that puts you in the same place and time as your fiancee?

It is unlikely that a C1 would be issued when it is not the usual, logical flight pattern to get from Point A to Point B. As others have said, since the requirements are exactly the same for a C1 and a B1/B2 visa, it makes no sense from a consular officer's viewpoint. Since the starting point for either visa adjudication is the assumption that the applicant intends to go to the US and stay, they need to not only be convinced that there are strong reasons to leave the US (and, no -- onward tickets are not a strong reason), but also that a transit visa is needed for the travel itinerary. Since there are, clearly, several routes from Cali to Puerto Vallarta that do not require transiting the US, it will be difficult to justify why one is needed. This can also appear to be an attempt to "game the system" and using a C1 appointment -- which is much quicker to get since they are usually needed/used by crew members to get to their immediate assignment -- to get into the US quickly and avoid the long wait for a B visa interview.

There is no annual limit for non-immigrant visa issuance for any country -- totally depends on the number of qualified applicants. Please use the space bar!
