Woo-hoo! Just got this email!!!

Consulate General of the United States

LEVEL 10 MLC CENTRE 19-29 MARTIN PLACE SYDNEY NSW 2000

http://canberra.usembassy.gov

Dear Visa applicant,

We are pleased to advise that your visa has been issued today.

If you provided our office with an envelope for delivery, you may trace the delivery process of your visa package through the Australia Post website using the tracking number of your envelope.

If you created a profile through ustraveldocs for delivery, your issued visa will be delivered to the nominated address in the profile you created via the website at USTRAVELDOCS. You may trace the delivery process through this site.

Upon receipt of your passport which will contain your immigrant or K visa, please ensure that all information printed on the visa foil is correct. Use the diagram at U.S. Embassy Canberra as a guide. If any of the information on your visa does not match the information in your passport or is incorrect, please reply to this email immediately advising us of the error(s). The sealed yellow envelope contains your documentation, DO NOT OPEN this envelope. Please ensure that you travel with this envelope in your carry-on luggage as this must be presented with your passport on arrival to the U.S.

You should never pay for travel arrangements (e.g., airfare, hotels) without having a visa in your possession. The U.S. Consulate General accepts no responsibility if you do so. You risk significant financial losses if you ignore this advice.

Well, there's a saying that a sign of strength is to know when to admit defeat. My husband heard back from the London Embassy this morning. There are no earlier dates available for interview and we need to attend the appointment as originally scheduled. So, after our honeymoon/anniversary, we will depart in separate directions, him to London and me back to the States. The only difference is it will only be a 2-3 week separation this time.

Really sorry to hear they couldn't do anything for you, but at least the scheduled date doesn't interfere with your trip. Hopefully having the vacation to look forward to will speed time along for you! It'll be interview time before you know it :)

Yea, I'm not too bummed about it. At least we have the interview date in hand. Our honeymoon/anniversary will be a celebration as his interview is just 4 days after he gets back to London. It's almost over!!

I'm in the same boat as both of you too. :( Called this morning and got excited because I got through the first dial and only waited 20 minutes for a friendly agent, but she informed me that it was not assigned yet, but they were still assigning interviews for August. Sigh.
