Wow! That is SO frustrating!! Fingers crossed you get your passport soon.
Austramerican -have you guys had your email yet to say your visa has been printed? I haven't and was just wondering if anyone else who had an interview this Tuesday has gotten theirs?

Congratulations!! We were also approved yesterday, it was soooo exciting!!
To anyone else about to have an interview at the Sydney consulate, I was told something very interesting by the lady who initially went through my documents. She said that since I fly next week and need my passport back quickly I should have brought in an express post bag, despite being told to create a profile in my Packet 4 email. She said that creating a profile would take about a week to get my visa to me whereas with a post bag I would get it the next day. I was lucky that she waited while I ran to the post office in Martin Place.
Moral of my story, if you want to be in the US yesterday, make sure you take a 3kg platinum post bag to your interview in Sydney(they insisted that it be that exact type!)
Cheers
