I applied for my 3rd renewal on December 5, 2021 and received a conditional approval on Jan 9, 2022.
I need to schedule an interview...but of course there is no availability, none at this moment.
I remember when I applied for my 2nd renewal, I received a conditional approval first, and then I booked my interview online. However, I received a full approval without the interview later for some reason. I remember I canceled the appointment because of the full approval without interview.
