She said they were sending it to her house, but the piece of paper they gave her (attached) makes it sound like she will have to go to some local office to pick it up.

That I don't know.  When they sent us the email for the appointment, there was a link to "register your appointment" on a third party site and make your biometrics appointment.  The site wouldn't let us schedule the biometrics because for whatever reason it was saying we didn't have our main interview appointment yet, and my wife ended up having to call several times and finally just go over to the place to get the biometrics done.  Huge stress and pain, but again, par for this experience.

Also, the medical exam place (SMF) charged $272.50 USD for the exam.  That's somebody's weekly salary down there...

Damn.

It cost around $90 in Bangladesh.

Has your wife received her passport back with her visa?

 

My husband had his appt on Friday and has to go back tomorrow morning for the actual interview. 

 

We are worried that it could take weeks before returning to the U.S.

I will be receiving my packet in my hometown I didn't want to wait and continue paying hotel

She hasn't received it yet, but they did send it 2 or 3 days after the appointment.  They gave her the option to wait around in CDJ and pick it up there, so maybe that's what you want to do.
