Overall it was an easy process. I sibmitted the online application, was pre-approved in less than a week. I then scheduled the interview which took 4 weeks. The interview it self was quick and painless and I was approved by the end of the day; notified by e-mail.

Can't wait to fly to Barcelona later this month! Easy return.
You were lucky, very lucky in fact. This has not been the norm.
