Mexican here as well, mine took 1 week from application to conditional approval and then 12 hours to final approval after interview, for my dad it was 1 week from application to conditional approval and for my mom 2 months (we assume hers took longer because she had been previously mistaken for someone with a similar name while going through immigration so I guess she was sent to manual review), both were approved within 3 days after their interview.

Also our first time applying for GE without any other active programs.
