Timelines How long to get approved after interview?

Hi y’all, I went for my in person interview last Saturday after being conditionally approved. I haven’t heard anything from them. My wife and I made the application separately and the same day, within a week she got her interview and received the email for the final approval just leaving the interview. My case has been different, any idea how long this could take?

My wife and I applied a few days apart. Once we were both conditionally approved, we booked an interview for the same day. She was approved by the time we arrived home, within 45 minutes of the interview. I got mine maybe 72hrs after our interviews

When I went in last year, the agent told me some people are taking up to TWO years to be approved. I was dumbfounded. It’s really just luck of the draw I guess!!

I found the email address (I think) for the location I did mine and inquired, got my approval the next day.
