So you can also do the interview upon reentry at the airport. In terms of Richmond, they only do interviews on Thursdays from 8 am to Noon. There's only a couple appointments once a week, so they're comically difficult to get. I would say keep an eye on Dulles- I was able to get an appointment on a Saturday with short notice, which worked out great for us with our child.

Thank you! I’m blown away at how difficult this is. This year we fly back into the US on a weekday so hopefully we will have a long enough layover to get through an interview appointment for all 4 of us. But if we can’t then we will likely have to take an entire day and drive up to Dulles which is just maddening.

You don't need an appointment when you are flying back into the US. Look up "interview on arrival." Definitely the easiest way to get it done.

Well, the good thing about Dulles is that if you time it right, it's pretty painless. The interview process is quick and easy. We left here around 4 pm on a Saturday and were back by 7:45-8. All told we were at Dulles of around 40 minutes.
