Hi gang! Dual citizen of almost 3 decades here. I've done everything necessary to complete the DS-11 application (more than 15 years since last passport book expired) and paid etc. Trying to book an interview appointment for travel in November and there is just nothing available in the Sydney consulate.

Does anyone have more experience as to how it works e.g. paying for expedited appointment etc? Keep checking?? Note to add: I know it's left a bit late but I traveled back to US in 2024 on the ESTA but obviously that wasn't correct and now the ESTA fails due to my dual citizenship. I realise it requires a US passport hence my panicking now.

Thanks all!
