Don't give up hope. I already moved my interview a couple of times all the way from December to early August within a couple of hours...

Wish I was close to SFO though... appointments available every night!

No, I didn't. I don't think there was a place.

I saw one interview slot for today. There were not many left, I grabbed a Friday one. I wanted to go back and count how many left but didn't want to screw it up.

Good luck with yours.

Wow, that is a bit worse than SFO's almost 7 months wait.

As himbeerle said, keep trying, you are very likely to find a spot in the next two weeks.

My DW applied 5/20, still pending.
Update. My Wife was conditionally approved this morning, 6/8 around 8am. Got her in for 6/15 appointment at ORD as well

Some people who applied on 5/20 are getting approval. I still have no clue what held up my application as I am pretty squeaky clean.

If you get approval soon - try ETLN for location. They are here until Friday.
Conditionally Approved this morning (Applied 5/21). No spots left at ETLN, and nothing at MCI either, so booked ORD for 8/2.

I doubt there may be cancellations but it may be worth checking. Heck, if you are in LNK, may be worth showing up late Friday and see if they will take you.

I would suggest calling Executive Travel and see if they have any recommendations. Maybe they are taking walk-ins? I have no clue.

It's also difficult and expensive to get down to SFO when BART is operating.

What's your point?

I have a car, many others in SF Bay Area do as well. SFO serves as the appointment center for the entire Bay Area and surroundings. The new 24/7 concept should relieve the appointment bottleneck and driving off hours is much easier for car owners.

Is there any difference in processing time when the applicants are little children?

Have you tried to call ETLN? Maybe they take walk-ins. They may also have last minute cancelations.
