Finally got my conditional approval!! Applied in August around this time of the month so it's been 10 months.

There are appointments available in Detroit (in 90 minutes) and at 2 locations in Minnesota (Sunday and Monday). Sadly, I cannot teleport to Detroit from Toronto and Minnesota is a bit far, so I'll have to wait for one to pop up elsewhere.

I am, however, getting the option for a remote interview. But even there I cannot get an available date.
