Husband and I had our appointments today at JFK. Arrived there about 20 minutes early for 7:30 and 7:45 pm appointments. Approximately 7 people in the waiting area. Things moved pretty quickly and they called my name just before 7:30. As there was one last person (more about him later) in the waiting room I asked if my husband could come too and the officer said sure. We both sat down and he asked me to verify basic information. Picture taken fingerprints taken.. done. I would say husband only answered about his email address. Picture taken fingerprints taken. Officer explained the GE # is also the KTN #. Upon renewing our passports next year we need to provide that # to CBP online. He told us GE is good for 5 years so we said see you then! We were out of there in under 15 minutes. Approval email received 10 minutes later. yay! ^

Now about that last guy??? They call him in and look for his name on the list. No one with that name. Ask for his conditional approval letter and look up his appointment date. He was a month early! I guess June and July look the same to him. One officer was ready to throw him out another one said hey hes here lets just get it over with and he did. No big fuss. Our officer said he met with 250 people today and at least 6 had some kind of excuse which made him laugh. I told him snagging an appointment is like winning the lotto or getting tickets to see Hamilton on Broadway.
