Backlogged Dept. of Homeland Security?

Question

Husband applied for paper visa to States from Australia 9 weeks ago. We are booked to travel in 2 weeks time. We were told by the visa dept. it would be here in time with no problem. This is his 2nd visa, and for pleasure. Any clues? Getting nervous! Thanks!

Answer 1

Stop whining.  If you don't like it, don't travel.

Answer 2

Australian citizens do not generally need a visa to visit the US for less than 90 days.  However, if your husband does require a visa, he applied, and there were no issues, he should have received it well within two weeks.  I suggest that he contacts the US foreign mission where he applied, or call the following numbers:

From within Australia, telephone advice on visas is available by calling (charges apply):
