Like you said, Julie, at least the ball is rolling now.  I think the worst part of filing my stupid spousal visa app was the grousing and worrying about it. Once I actually got myself together and DID it, it was just a matter of patience ... and in your case, another appointment or two.  Good luck! I'm sure it'll be a no-brainer for Immi, though.
