We waited about 15 minutes and the process for both my spouse and I took about another 15 minutes. I asked the border patrol agent if they were handling a lot of GE interviews (Nogales is at AZ/Mexico border). He said yes, but most were coming from long distances - guy before us was from NY. We received our notification today, 070916 that we are approved - just waiting for card.

Just an FYI , the Border Patrol agent also advised that once we get our GE card, we can just use that to cross the US/ Mexican border and we don't need the passport, however passports still required at airports.

Moral of story is once you get conditionally approved if you want next day interview, there's always Nogales AZ. ��
