Dear Wife: Applied June 29 Conditionally Approved July 3 - Appointment on August 17
Me: Applied June 29 . Conditionally Approved July 29 - Appointment on August 30
Comments:
I think there is a pattern looking at this thread (with a few exceptions). But by eyeballing and not rigorous statistics, I get:
Either approved in 3 to 4 days or approved in about 30 days. In May 2018, it was closer to 21 days for those not approved in 3 to 4 days.
Interview appointment times in Tampa and Sanford, Florida are filling up fast. Just over a week ago, August had many interview times in Tampa (many of them 2 at a time). For Tampa, the month of August is mostly filled except for a few early morning or late afternoon appointments in the last 3 days of the month. These will probably be gone shortly.

I finally got approved after a month, the first appointment was in October, but then I found something open up today and drove to the airport. They asked about three countries I visited on the list I had submitted. Perhaps the list of countries I visited held up my application. I had some non-Western countries on the list.
Also, they did not have a record of me on their schedule list since I took a cancellation. Make sure to print out or have a screen shot of your last-minute appointment.

Husband and daughter Conditional approved!
The 3 of us applied on 6/30
Husband was CA at 6:06am today, 7/30
Daughter was CA at 7:06am also, both of them are U.S Citizen,
I'm a U.S Resident currently applying for U.S citizinship, and still waiting for a notice.
They just had one open slot for husband's appointment, so I'm waiting to make one for my daughter.

Have interview tonight after about a 3 month wait for SFO. Unfortunately I found out too late I could have done a walk up upon return for France last month. So what should I expect, bright lamp in my face, one way mirror, gruff cigar smoking investigator who DEMANDS answers about my most recent trip in to Canada or perhaps why I went to two different international universities?? Just kidding but about how long are the interviews as I have a follow dinner meeting near the airport?
