So - My husband and I both received our conditional approval emails and when we looked at appointments there were two available (single slots) in December - not on the same day, but we figured we could make it work by going to our airport on separate days (SFO).
I made my appointment, and just a minute later when my husband logged on, the next available appointment isn't until March 2018!
He's going to wait and keep checking to see if there will be any earlier openings - due to cancellations. I was told by a friend to keep checking every day, so that's what he's going to do.
I wonder if he comes along with me - would they let him have an interview too? From what I've heard it's very hit or miss that people sometimes drop in if they happen to be at the airport, and sometimes they let them have the interview. Not sure if that's true - ( do they have info queued up for the actual appointment?) - seems like it would be easy enough to access on a computer.
We have an international trip planned in February - so it would be nice to have the GE by then.
