1. What were the exact applications filed BEFORE you were approved for DACA? What were the exact applications filed AFTER AP? The timing is critical, but you can still adjust within the United States dependent on how the questions are answered!

2. You were approved for AP, but did you actually travel and return successfully?

3. What was the so and so reason she wrote? What did the paperwork say exactly!!!

4. What is the status of your wife?

Only the I-485 should determine consular processing or adjustment of status. They made an error in processing your application, hence why you are waiting for a visa number.

Again, the State Dept regulates and issues visa numbers. USCIS only processes and adjudicates the visa number in the form of an application.

Note: Adjustment of Status is the processing of green card applicants and having the associated interview inside the US only, while consular processing should be self explanatory. They basically initiated consular processing before you asked for adjustment of status and are trying to correct it.
