Any recent experiences at ATL on getting an interview time? Right now it is showing January 2020 as the earliest available... I'm going to keep a check for cancellations, but I may have to look elsewhere.

How did this go for you?

Just got a conditional approval and trying to find an opening at CLT. "No appointments available." Regardless of what I set for a date range or soonest available or whatever. Through August 2020, "No Appointments." Is this what you saw? They just say "Sorry, booked... forever"? And you have to constantly check to see if something opens up?

Update for anyone who'd like to get an interview at CLT:

Per my post the other week the situation seemed pretty bleak; online scheduler showed no appointments available at any time in the future. Gave them a call and asked a few questions.

With respect to walk-ins at CLT, they do accept a limited number. While customs opens at 8am, the person I was talking to said something to the effect of, "If you really want to try it, I'd say don't be in line any time later than 630am. There are people in line as early as 430am. And once we take as many people as we can, that's that. Doesn't matter how far you drove, came from Raleigh, if you're going to call your congressman, whatever. When it's done it's done."

With regard to appointments, they are/were (at the time of the call) booked through the end of 2019. However, they suggested continuing to check online for openings, and that towards the end of this month (August '19 as I write this) some more openings should be becoming available, might even be some night time appointments available, but they just couldn't go live with that calendar just yet.

I kept checking the online schedule at least daily if not multiple times a day, and eventually some openings did appear! One was the same day and I couldn't take off work. Then some opened up end of September, which I'm currently slated for.

Moral of the story is keep checking, they do appear!

I signed up and was approved for GE in mid July. There was nothing available in my home state, I ended up driving 3+hrs to Detroit/Ambassador Bridge. The interview was scheduled a month out, though there were spotty times available earlier at the airport none of them would work with my schedule.

Interview was ~10 minutes in and out. Got my GE card a week later in the post.

A good excuse for a day trip to a city I hadn’t been to in a while I guess.

I was looking at scheduling appointments in January at this point.

Found the SFO @goesbot on Twitter. I was able to score an interview today, and on Sunday for my wife.
So we will both be GE approved within a week of our conditional approval.

You just have to be quick on the draw, and flexible with the schedule.

You may want to go with your wife and see if they would take you both at the same time.

I am done and approved. I was in my bike clothes before work and the Twitter bot popped up an appointment in 45 minutes. I grabbed it, hopped in the shower, 10 minutes later into the car, and made it to SFO by 0800

I was done by 820 and still at work by 9.

My wife got a Sunday 11:15 appointment from the Twitter bot.

I'm also seeing that JFK is wide open; however, there's no availability past November 30. I assume that's this because they only release interviews x months out, but can anyone confirm this is correct?

Keep checking the website for an appointment. I received my CA this morning as well and did not have any available appointments at DFW. Checked back a few hours later and they had an opening for 9/26.

No appointments available in the Houston area unless you have a boarding pass... :-\ ZERO.

The whole month of December opened up for JFK in early October. I'm guessing that the system is set up to show current calendar month plus next two calendar months, so the third month out pops up on the first day of the new month, give or take.

Our closest airport is booked out until the end of time, lol. The next closest one, which has wide open availability, we could easily drive to and make a weekend out of it. But then I started checking, and instead of driving, we could fly there in the morning, do our interviews and have lunch, and then hop on a plane back and be home by early evening. Am I missing any reason why we couldn't do this??

Of course you can.

On the other hand, if you spend a little time searching for cancellations at your nearest enrollment center, you are very like to find something suitable in 72 hours or less. Best time to search is when that enrollment center is open and check frequently everyday.

Good luck.

No issue, you can be there before or after however long you want. Am I missing a concern?
