Application sent Feb 2
Conditional approval Feb 10
No interviews in HNL until Mid March, but flying through IAH Mid Feb so I scheduled my interview there in Terminal E.

For the 1st time in years all my flights were early,so I arrived in IAH about 1.5 hours before my interview time, so I found office and though I'd give it a try to see if I could get in early.
1 couple walking out, and 1 person watching video. I asked CBP officer if he could see me early . He looked threw his computer and said to have a seat in waiting area and if the scheduled people don't show In next few minutes he'd take me..
A few minutes later he asked me for my letter,passport,and ID and went into his computer .then he asked me to come sit down..

I had posted earlier ,I was worried about a few"incidences" 25+ years but included ..couple of misdemeanors ,and a DWI all in the 80's....

He asked me if I had ever been arrested,I said yes and told him details , and he laughed..me too because it is funny college prank story, that does not show up so funny on record...he told me usually 1 maybe 2 misdemeanors and chances were 50/50 approval.
It all depended on my fingerprint run with FBI..he took my photo,and did my fingerprints and said here we go............. A minute later he looked at screen,looked at me and said,"are you sure you have been arrested?"

I said 100% yes...he looked at screen again and said nothing is coming up on you...he said that is good but he had to call superior ...phoned superior ,he looked at it , told my CBP officer to run my SS number ,full name and birthdate too...
The officer asked me if I had ever been in Indiana, I said absolutely not, and he said OK there is just another name coming up using name and BD but SS not match ...so nothing came up and superior said I am good to go...
He told me to sit down and watch video, and before video is finished I get confirmation email...CBP asked me if I had any questions ,I said no ,he said you are approved have a great day....15 minutes total.....
