Not a theory, a fact. In my case the GE interview was more of an interrogation, but nonetheless, they grudgingly gave it to me, and grudgingly gave me my CBP sticker, and I've used it many times with no hassle ever since.

She should apply for GE now then, since she can then have her GE interview at LAX or SFO.
