American embassy/consulate. The American Embassy/consulate will contact me with further information in regards to my visa interview. I am trying to get my grandparents residential status and this is the last letter that I received regarding their cases back in November 2006. What's going on and why haven't I heard from the embassy/consulate???

you need to contact the National Visa Center. They will send you the documentation you will need to adjust your grandparents status. The number should be on the letter. You have 1 year from the date on the letter to get the process started. Don't wait on the embassy, they get a lot of files and they might be behind by months. look on the letter, the 1st 3 letters designate which city embassy/consulate the file was sent to. BUT what you can do IF your grandparents are here, you can retain an attorney to get the process rolling for you to get the I-485 paperwork done or even if they are not here, an immigration atty can put in the paperwork for them to be processed here and not in their home country.
Do this quickly because as of july 30, 2007, the cost to do an adjustment will go from 395.00 per application to 1,010 per application.

There is no category that allows a person to file for their grandparents as relatives. A US citizen over the age of 21 can file for parents, but not grandparents. So did you file, or was it one of your parents who actually filed and are they US citizens? That needs to be clarified before an answer can be given. Any other answers you receive will be based on assumptions. And actually, your best answer would come from USCIS.
If you filed for grandparents, the petition should not have been approved and will probably be revoked if it was approved.
Now, if one of your parents filed the petition and your grandparents are not in this country, the embassy may take a while to call them for an interview. Depending on the backlog, that can take a while. If they're in this country, and one of your parents is the petitioner, there's more paperwork to adjust status while here. But I'm not going into that because I could be wasting time. I don't know the situation here.
That being said, add some additional info you your question...or perhaps get information from an official source. I don't think getting it from a forum is a good idea where it comes to serious legal issues. And I wouldn't go to an attorney at this point because it may be simple enough to just ask the source.

in the adventure that your case is executed via the NVC, it ability all records are on document and your visa packet has been transferred to the processing consular section. the subsequent step could be an interview appointment, which would be set the two via the NVC or the consular section.
