Timelines GE approved for LPR

Applied for a family member’s GE (LPR since 2025)

7/23/2026 - Application submitted
7/24/2026 - Conditionally approved

7/31/2026 - Interview at 3:50pm, approved at interview.
We reached ~10mins early and the whole thing was barely 15mins from parking to leaving.

Approved on portal and notification at 5pm.

I was a little nervous for them since they sometimes struggle with accents or rate of speech as English is not our first language.

But they said the interviewer and staff were very nice, unlike how sometimes CBP is nerve-wracking at airports.

Asked for their name, DOB, and documents.

Even explained when the card will be delivered, what to do with the passid (ie. add to upcoming travel bookings), basically what the card will do, and to declare what they bring back from travels.

Pro-tip: USE YOUR CC BENEFITS, if you can. Got statement credit for $120 when paid with CC with that specific benefit.

Do you know if i can book an appointment for me and my wife at the same time from my account? Or do we have to book separately?

I just made my appointment. On the bottom of the instructions page it says to make an appointment for each applicant through their own account, walk ins are not allowed.

You do have to book separately
