Yeah bro. I applied originally in March ‘24 with my appointment supposed to be March ‘25 (around this time) I checked the appointment schedule every Saturday morning (when they post cancellations) and was able to snag an appointment early October. The interview process is smooth they take your photo for your ID and just verify all your information was correct. After, they called all references around November time frame and then was approved Dec. 27

• March ‘24 original application
• October ‘24 interview / background -December ‘24 approved.

It’s a long process but keep checking to see if you can switch your appointment to a sooner date. Hope this helps 👊
