Just after 9 I am up. Asked me questions that were kind of the same as the online app. Photo. Prints. Said 24-48 hours for prints to clear. Looked like she actually let all in line get done, but several had left after her warnings. **UPDATE: I had an email within two hours of my interview saying changed status, just checked it this morning and I'm approved for a renewal.

As an aside, I advise to show up with the required info needed... passport, global trusted traveler I'd #, license or other proof of address. The people in front of me didn't have stuff ready and she let them look up online banking and other things to show address which wasted a lot of time.

If they are going to force people to use enrollment on arrival they need to recognize when big banks of international flights tend to land at LAX. I was lucky my flight landed an hour early.
