Applied online for GE 6/10/19 (first time, and I do not have TSA precheck).
Conditional approval 6/15/19.
First available appointments (facility near LAX) are on 6/27/19 (several appts every 15 minutes) but I set mine for 7/2/19.
After reading online, including their website, I am kind of shocked it was so fast. My passport, DL, etc., all match. Maybe that's why?
They also sent me an email 6/15/19 pushing return airport arrival interviews, but I didn't want to do that.
