have not posted since March 2020 but can share subsequent happenings...
first applied: August 8, 2019
conditional approval: March 6, 2020 (211 days, I believe)
thought I had an interview for late March, 2020 out in Calexico, CA, but Covid-19 wiped out that interview, although months later they started up again.
had no luck attempting to get another interview until something came available in late November, 2020 at McCarran airport in Las Vegas.
while that was not close to my home in Baja it was not altogether inconvenient.
subsequently got my card which I have used for several months now and also discovered it is easy to add an auto, after the fact.
Good Luck to all!
