Called SFO GE office just now and spoke to a far more helpful officer than the one I spoke to on Saturday morning. Turns out there was a minor 'check' outstanding on my application. She put me on hold for five minutes, came back and said Team Leader had approved it now and I was good to go. Two minutes later, GOES email arrived and indeed I am now showing online as approved! ^^
So in summary:
UK citizen with a code.
Applied: 15 May
Conditional approval email: 4 June
Appointment booked: 6 June at SFO
Approval: 11 June
