Had the interview at SFO today. Overall pretty painless, they called me right on time and the officer was very courteous. I did get grilled a bit about a past arrest where the charges were dismissed. Luckily I had all the paperwork from the court ready and a letter from my attorney. They made copies of everything, took a photo and fingerprints, and thirty minutes later I received the approval email.
If you have any past charges/dismissals BRING PAPERWORK & PROOF. Without it I would have been denied most likely as their system doesn't always show the outcome of past issues.
Good luck to everyone, hang in there...
