Good morning FT peeps,
Quick update on my interview process:
During my overseas trip, I got an email from GE saying I could complete my partial application on arrival at any international airport.(This was despite my scheduled appointment at DFW yesterday) So the first thing I did after landing, was to check with the GE staff by the kiosks if I could do a walk in interview. He confirmed, directing me to a specific gate.
It was still early in the morning, so there were no lines. I got to the gate and found a very helpful officer, who first took my picture, then finger prints followed by a few questions about my travels. I had the certified NC in hand, but all the officer needed was my application number(in the interview notice) and passport.
She confirmed my approval and mentioned the confirmation email could take up to 24hrs . She suggested putting the approval to test at the GE kiosks. So I went back and it worked flawlessly. 15 mins later, just as I was getting done with customs, my phone flashed with the approval confirmation email notification.

Couldn't have gone smoother, but for the slight technical trouble with the scanner :P
