Another weird 
government srew up story, but at least it has a happy ending:
My fiancee' has an interview april 22. I made it under the embassy's new call in scheduling system. They asked if I wanted to confirm, I said yes and they gave me a confirmation number and later sent my fiancee' an email with the date and confirmation number.
Then I got a letter from the embassy a couple weeks later stating she is eligible for an interview appointment. I shrugged it off as an oversight. Today the day she is ready to leave I get another letter stating call to schedule an interview. Uh-oh. So I go on their website to check on her interview date and it shows no record. Uh-oh. This is like 4 hours before her trip, tickets bought, reservations made, bags packed. So I call the embassy when they open, 2 hours to go ... they tell me they have no record of her appointment either and that I should call back to the scheduling number! UH-OH. But, I say, I have a confirmation number, which the USE emailed to her. I have no way to check on that sir, she says.
She can tell I am ready to lose my mind, so she puts me on hold to 'check'. She then tells me some people were told to call back to confirm, maybe that's you? Nope, confirmation number here, remember? Gave her date, exact time. Oh, hmm, well, ok, I'll make a note in the system, tell her it's ok to go to the interview. WHEW!! Close one!
Everybody wonders what the deal is with some petitions getting an easy ride and others tough sledding. My new theory is they pick some to screw up and then they just keep screwing them up at every possible step of the way. It seems to happen to many who have had long waits,etc. Makes as much sense as any other reason
