Wife and son both got approved for GE within 8 days (yes, 8 days), I went to schedule them and got times on Saturday 9/3. We had a scheduling conflict with that day so I tried to rebook for the following Saturday. Nothing is there now and all the Saturdays look blocked out through October.

I really don't want to pull my son out of school for a weekday appointment so I'll keep checking but I thought I'd check to see if anyone has had success for at Saturday appointment at IAH.

Also, I'm confused about the 30-day timeframe. Do you have 30 days to book the appointment or must if be within 30 days for the letter? They were conditionally approved on the 28th of August. October 10th is a school holiday here in Texas so I did book them for that day. BUT, it is obviously more than 30 days from the letter date. (I'm also concerned as it is a Federal holiday - would they accept and then cancel appointments?)

TIA
