Applied and paid on June 9, 2016.
Conditional approval granted on June 28, 2016 at 5:09am ET.
I have an interview scheduled at ORD for a time I know I'll be through in October. Wanted to get in to the MKE (Milwaukee) interview location at Mitchell Airport, but there are absolutely no available appointments. Blerg.
I'll be flying through ORD in about 4 weeks, so I have the ubiquitous script running (two instances) to find earlier appointments at both ORD and MKE. Fingers crossed...

Looks like Newark Aiport has now opened up slots from 5:40/6:00/6:20 & 21:00/21:20/21:40, so the entire month of july/august is now open.
Hope this helps anybody who is looking for a slot here in Newark.

My 2 cents
Applied June 01
Conditional Approval June 22
Interview MIA June 29
There were even earlier appts in MIA but i was in PSP at the time.
MIA looks to be fairly open for the interviews. FLL and PBI were booked at least 8 weeks out.

I have applied for my wife on June 8th. Based on timeline and same date applications in this forum,she should have received cond. approval by this morning. But she hasn't.
Is it normal to get cond. approval little late than normal timeline? when should i start getting worried?

I would start to worry in a week.

Applied the 26th and for some reason thought it was instantaneous, glad to know that is not the case and to stop worrying.

How do you know when there is an update such as conditional approval? email you or have to check the status online? Is it either conditional or denial email? Will the email tell you what to bring?

You can also keep checking your GOES account, but my impression is that the email is sent promptly so I don't think you'd save much time by doing so.
Save your obsession for stalking interview slots in the next step.

You get an email that just says that status has changed. Then you must log into your GOES account to see how the status changed.

BTW, how do I look for interview slots for all three of us?
Look for an interview date on our child and than 2 of us go there and ask the officer to interview us too? If three of us don't have to go on separate dates, it would be little more convenient for us.

So we are 2 parents and a toddler child. How should we schedule interviews here? Looking for ways to not have to go all of us on different dates. Make appointment for child now or wait for our conditional approval? Will they allow family for interview together?
bit confused

I saw my status change online and then an hour later, I received the email about the status change telling me to login to see the change.
This is what the email says:

After two days of obsessively checking of availability at O'Hare, we somehow snagged two interview slots this weekend within two hours of each other! We might actually complete the entire process from start to finish in less than four weeks.
