My wife and I applied and paid for GE on 12/3 and were conditionally approved on 12/10. If you count just the working days we waited, it was 4 days (submitted after business close on 12/3 and 12/5 government was closed). We are currently Pre-Check, but it’s set to expire middle of 2019. We don’t have a GE office in our city, so we’ll schedule the interview in Seattle or Houston during our next trip early next year.
