There is no way to know. Some people receive conditional approval in 2-3 days and others take much longer and are then denied. It could be anything from random follow up for something in your background to something more serious to something where you listed something incorrectly to somebody with a similar name and date of birth being on a watch list.

The government shut down has stopped all GE processing, so whatever was outstanding on 12/21 is sitting there and won't change until CBP is fully funded. At that point there will also be a backlog, so unfortunately, delays may get a lot worse.

Is there anything in your background, including anything you omitted which might -- stress might -- raise concerns?
