Interview at MIA airport: 3/21/2017 (they had every appointment open for the whole week except for the first few early in the morning, and a couple of every afternoon.).
The interview included 2 questions: "What's your job title?" and "Have you been to Canada or Mexico in the past 5 years?"
I sent a text saying "I'll talk to you in a little bit, I'm walking in" walked in (15 minutes early), waited for the interview before mine to finish, was interviewed, and texted "I'm out" 9 minutes later.
Very simple process.
Identical to my experience at MIA. Got a next day appointment after the conditional approval, made the hour drive and then spent more time walking back and forth to my car in the parking garage than I did in the CBP office. I was both fascinated by the efficiency and a little bummed I had to bother with the hour drive each way for an "interview" where I said maybe 10 words.
Would recommend MIA to anyone needing a GE interview, even if you have to fly here to do it. The calendar is wide open, the office is open 9 to 9 and they're ridiculously efficient. Make a mileage run out of it, give yourself a few hours in MIA and you're all set.
