I'm afraid I'll have to agree with what the "lastpetioner" said: Sometimes Embassies do act irresponsibly.
For instance, my fiance filed a I-129F petition and after several months we finally received the NOA2 and I was contacted by the embassy saying that they would send me the package with instructions and forms.
Everything looking good so far and they did send the package but the wrong one! They sent me the K2 package instead of the K1. Fortunately we noticed this before the interview and emailed them to confirm the date, subject and documents for the interview. They admitted their mistake and replied us fairly quick. The interview went well and my Visa approved but not given to me right away.
We were not sure if the American consulate in Lisbon would issue the visa after the interview but I had prepared everything at work for either situation.
Done with the interview they told me that I had to wait for my visa to arrive and I asked them how long will that take but they couldn't give me an answer. They said that the immigrant visa time lines are quite unpredictable and they depend on how well the "computer system" is working.
Well, as you might imagine that was not the clearest answer ever and I felt sad, not so much because of waiting but just for the fact that they never give you any date or any sort of guarantees.
My interview was on the 24th March and based on other VJ's time lines, I suppose the visa will arrive soon.
Still on the bright side, the visa was approved and this process is almost finished and soon I'll be in the US with my fiancee, Matt!
Hang on there and I hope both of us will receive good news soon.
