The EoA desks are on the left-hand side as you exit the baggage reclaim hall. I waited about half an hour for my interview. The CBP Officer took my photograph and fingerprints, and the interview was mainly just confirming the information on the original application was correct and he asked a couple of questions about my work. I think he was a little puzzled about why I wanted GE since I'd only been to the US once before, but I emphasised this was in anticipation of me travelling more in the next few years (including a TP run for my BA Gold). Was told I'd hear back the outcome in a day or two.

28th Aug - Status change email and application approved. I used TSA PreCheck on my return flight to the UK from SEA on the 30th August.
Tip (Make sure you include your middle name in your API data, that made the difference as to whether PreCheck appeared on my boarding pass)
