Used "interview upon arrival" last week in MSP...took 5 minutes (didn't really take any extra time, because interview happened while waiting for luggage to start coming out).
Couldn't have been any easier (except just being approved unconditionally)
took new pic and did the finger prints again.
Highly recommended if choice is that or scheduling an interview.
That was Wednesday and checked this morning (sunday)and accounts says approved.

Is anybody able to tell me the process for completing Enrollment on Arrival at Atlanta Airport please? We will be arriving off an international flight. Do you have to go through the normal immigration line first or is there a separate line where you complete the interview and immigration formalities in one?

So you can use the GE kiosk before you've had your enrollment interview?

Just a word of warning...when you complete this process, they take your picture! If I remember correctly the first time we applied and had our in person interview we were able to see picture before it was final...This time first time I saw it was yesterday when I received my new GE card in the mail...after 12 hours of traveling (with stocking cap on and then removed to take picture), my hair looks just like a disaster area!

Renewal GE membership applicants whose GE membership hasn’t been expired for more than 6 months can use the GE kiosks before doing the renewal membership enrollment interview; most others, however, can’t use the GE kiosks before the GE membership enrollment interview.

Thank you - I thought that was the case. This is our first time interview. What I was trying to ascertain through my question was whether at Atlanta we will be directed to a special line for GE Enrollment on Arrival or have to clear normal immigration first? I'm asking because our flight doesn't arrive until 8:05PM and I know GE Enrollment on Arrival closes at ATL at 9PM. If we have to clear immigration first it likely won't happen - if we don't then there might be a chance!

Thank you. So do you have to go in the normal immigration line with everyone else who is not enrolling in GE or is there a separate line?

It’s a bit different from airport to airport but CBP has a web page that gives the airport-level details about the hours and position of where to try to do it at each relevant airport. The CBP site is not comprehensive in this regard as at some airports where they do this, they may offer it in ways or at times that go beyond that listed on the website. For example, last quarter, CBP doing MPC at some airports were also willing to do enrollment on arrival or help with getting it done even when the CBP website provided a sort of indication that it wouldn’t do so, at least not at the all the times when CBP had employees doing EOA on the side.
