Can you add your email address? If not, I would log into your GOES account daily and see if you are conditionally approved. Give your email address to your interviewer.

Most of us received an email after conditionally approved. With your wife's experience, I would then log into your GOES account daily and see. Most of us are conditionally approved a week from application date.

I do not recall receiving an email after securing an appointment date.

If you walk in the Departure Level of TBIT look between the 2 entrances, you will see the Travel + Leisure shop, look at the opposing side of the walkway, it faces Travel + Leisure. There are no chairs, standing room only while you wait.
Cool! thanks. I was planning to park in P4, right across the Departure level. But I agree, Arrival on P3 has much less traffic.

Log into your account and select "Change Profile" on the left. It should allow you to add/update your email address.

Just checked, my email shows up there but not on the application itself. I am not going to worry about it too much. What happens happens. Thanks for your help though!

My guess is that you will get emails. But I would still check in a couple of times a week to be safe.

Same here. Is this something that's really easy to overlook or something? I swear I typed it, but maybe I'm thinking of when I set up the GOES account (got that email).

OK, even weirder, I just found my printout of my application and the email address is filled in. Though it is now blank on the website. That is a bit worrisome and odd. I am going to go through the rest of the fields and make sure that nothing else is changed.

Don't think you should be worries about the emails at all. Like I said me and wife have email on our profiles but we never got any emails even after she got her conditional approval.

At least it is promising that all applications to conditional approval timeframes has been around 7 days. That's consistency that I like.

I applied on 5/18, and have a trip on 6/17..being in SFO, I doubt I can get the process finished by then based on the appointment scheduling issues I'm reading here regarding SFO.

any luck on earlier SFO appointments? I am about 7 days behind your application.

I hope the the 7 day time frame holds up for me, but I am not sure since I have had 8 addresses in last 5 years. Haven't seen many data points for people who have moved around a lot.

So I really goofed! I've been waiting 7 days now, so I'm not at the "self-concerned" part of the process. However, I did make two errors on my application: 1) I moonlight with a second job, and I got the start date wrong by two months. 2) I received an e-mail from my rental agency listing my rental history and used that, but when I looked at my records it appears they didn't include my first year. Both of the dates are from about 9 years ago. Will this impede the conditional approval? I figured I can disclose the errors at the interview since I can't change the application now.
