Conditionally approved - 1/27/17
Interview - 1/29/17
My wife took our 9 months old to the her GE interview on 1/29 hoping they could process my daughter's application together. Initially they resisted, but another officer said it was ok. Since then, my wife's GE was approved on the same day but no update on my daughter's application. I was able to get CBP on the phone last month and was told infant's application had to be processed differently due to finger print issues. Does anyone know what is the average wait time for infants to get approved?
Also, should we still go to her original appointment on 3/13/17? It is still showing on the website.
Thank you!
Yes, for kids too young to get fingerprints, something is done to notate this, I'd guess. When we go to the machine (once approved), for the kid, it will tell you there are no fingerprints on file, print a receipt with an X immediately, and you'll go to see the agent to get cleared.
For approval, don't know about the GE-only process, as ours is through Nexus, though I'm pretty sure our daughter's approval was pretty instant after the appointment took place.
