Me Application Saturday, email Sunday night, set appointment Monday for Monday...will get card in the Mail in 3 weeks
Wife Apprication Sunday, email Monday night or Tuesday morning), set appointment for Tuesday at 5:15AM to be seen at 7AM same day (today). Will get card in 3 weeks

Important: The email just says there has been a change in your status. Log in (link in email) and find out you have been approved pending your interview appointment. Follow that link and pick an appointment destination and date. Picking Otay Mesa brought up a message that the next available appointment was in Jun 2024!...We fiddled with the calandar, given my experience yesterday, and found that 4 appointments were available this AM. Starting 6:30AM ending 7AM. It was 5:15AM already! Fortunately all data was in a folder, so we got dressed and out the door. Carpool lanes from Escondido made all the difference.
The building is single story. You go up to the door and someone will come to help you. HAVE a copy of your appointment confirmation as the list they have is printed before. Free parking next door. Parking in the back restricted.
IF there are two of you, like us, each person must get the email, sign in to their account and make an appointment. The appointment page indicates you can make more that one persons appointment. That is not true.
Appointment takes about 5-10 minutes...photo, fingerprinting, check residence proof, passport...
