I read an article that might shed some light on your questions about the delays that may or may not be contributing to your visa process.

From the Washington Post article I quote:

The State Department's Consular Consolidated Database, which keeps all the background check records on individuals seeking visas, started having outage issues on July 19. Now, there's a backlog.

The system went back online Wednesday but is operating at a “significantly reduced capacity,” according to the State Department, which could not say when it would be fully operational.

The cause of the outage is undetermined, but State Department officials have ruled out foul play. Its impact is global, but officials would not provide an exact number of people held up.
