The IV unit for Philippines IS, in Manila, and many others are in Capital cities associated with Embassies.  Each Embassy has a Consulate.  No country has more than one US Embassy but many countries have several Consulates..  Currently, no country has more than one IV unit and some countries have none.  Iran has neither a US Embassy or Consulate.

I am very aware of how embassy and consulates are set up...       you have an actual point to this

It's always helpful to use the correct terminology, and I often see people confused when we don't.  When we say "Embassy" people who know Embassies are only in Capital cities, will be thinking they will have their interview in the Capital City, but for China, India, Canada and others, that misleads them.  So, my point is that to avoid confusing people, we should say Consulate, OR even Consular Immigrant Visa Unit instead of Embassy.  We're here to help people, not confuse them.  Correct terminology is critical to that end, IMO.
