Hi

Look in the cr/it-1 thread. There's a loooong sticky about people traveling to the US during the visa process. :) Yes you can visit, just bring ties to your home country such as letter from your employer, rental agreement/mortgage deed etc.

CBP don't even know that you're in the visa process until you submit the Ds-260 at NVC. And even then you're still allowed to visit. Go celebrate your anniversary together. :)
