I applied on 8th October, conditionally approved on 20th Nov. Had interview in Boston on 21st Dec, immediately approved but no sign of the card yet. I am guessing it will be delayed due to the shutdown. Hoping to have it for my next trip beginning of March.

Applied for GE yesterday and still waiting for conditional approval. Previous DPs say as quick as 1-2 weeks, right?
However, with the government shutdown, is conditional approval also delayed and backlogged, not just GE approval post-interview? Hoping to get conditionally approved within 2 weeks where there are still several appointment dates and times still open. Thoughts on likelihood?
If not, no rush as I won't need GE until April but just hoping to kill two birds with one stone.

I applied and paid my GE fee in mid-December and I am still waiting for conditional approval. I thought I would have heard something by now but I guess it's a good thing I'm not in a hurry. Hopefully, I will hear from them sometime before summer gets here.

NOV 7 pending review still
Hopefully I get some good luck posting on here.
My wife and I both applied the same time. Both US citizens. We applied Nov 7 and she got approved about 2 weeks later. She scheduled the interview but due to the shutdown she had to reschedule. She got another email saying she could schedule so now she has an interview coming up soon.
I on the other hand am still pending review. They charged my card way long ago.
Whenever I email the support team they just give me the generic response that it can take 8 weeks or longer...
IS there someone I can contact or anything I can do? Do I just wait it out?
Thanks!

Applied for myself on December 1st - still pending review (as expected with the government shutdown). Applied for my wife on December 3rd and she was approved December 6th.
On a side note, when I was filling out my wife's application I realized I had left out 2 countries that we had traveled to on my application. Anyone know if that will be an issue?
Upon thinking about it, I can't imagine everyone remembering every country they've been to in the last 5 or 6 years, especially those who travel for business. I personally know several people that have to take around the world trips every couple of months and I can't imagine them remembering every itinerary they've had.

I applied and paid on Jan. 4th, no update still pending. My wife applied on Jan. 17th, and today it went to conditionally approved. She hasn't been out of the country since 2011 while I went to Israel in 2014 and Canada a few times since 2014. Clean records for both of us. We'll have to travel 2 1/2 hours for the interview since there is no airport around us that does them. Not that we can schedule an interview anyway
