Awesome, so happy for you! Ours was not long approved too so the feeling is very much still fresh!

(Quote from a card Adam sent me that spoke to us both - and oh so true.)

Nope I didn't it, only that notification email they sent me on May 3rd, the misleading email.....

Title of the email: Issued visa and package is being sent to you today 03-MAY-2012

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 and will be returned to you via the address you listed through your profile created at http://www.ustraveldocs.com/au/index.html.

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 http://canberra.usembassy.gov/read_your_visa.html 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). 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.

That's the first part of the email. I don't know if others who interviewed on the same day got it or not (except Patrickandjess). but as far as I know Georgiabound hasn't got it. i chased it up on Thur, they sort of told me where it is.

and i changed my flight.
