I am in same situation applied GE on 4/10 and pending review. will update you if there is anything on my side.
I applied for GE 4/10 and am still waiting on approval as of 4/20. My husband applied 4/13 and was conditionally approved 4/20 (7 calendar days). He is a commercial airline pilot and I am wondering if that could be why he got approved so quickly and I got "skipped" over... for now. Application is still processing.
I would think applications would be processed in the order received unless you are getting denied.
Has as anyone been in a similar situation?
Has anyone else applied 4/10/17 or shortly after and already been conditionally approved?

Update
UPDATE:
Received an email at 1:10 pm central time on 4/20/17 that I was conditionally approved (I applied 4/10).
My husband received his approval around 1:30 AM (12 hours ago) as mentioned in my previous post (he applied 4/13).
10 day turnaround for me and almost 7 day turnaround for my husband.

4/4 Applied
4/10 Approved
4/22 Interview completed at MCI.
Schedule initially showed first opening three months out. Checked multiple times daily and was able to find convenient times periodically open up. Was able to get all five in our group interviewed within 18 days, all with different appointment times, two of which were scheduled on the same day. Great people at MCI!

Family of 4
application 08/27
conditional approval 09/02 (me, kids), 09/03 (wife)
Interview 3/25
Post interview approval letter: 3/25 (older child, wife), 3/26 (me).
Still waiting for post interview letter for 2 year old (as of Apr 28). I called about a week after the interview and the guy said something about needing a waiver because as a young child she wasn't fingerprinted.

SFO data point:

4/28 appointment at SFO - approved
I checked back for time slots multiple times, moved from Oct...Aug...May...Apr. Stopped looking after finding the April slot. There was a guy at the GE office who said he booked last October!

No Update to GOES account after interview?
I brought both of my daughters in for their Global Entry interview last week. Everything was statight forward - took pictures and fingerprints of both, and the agent said we were good to go. Later that day I received the email for the update to my one daughter's GOES account showing her approval, but still no change to my other daughters (it still has the "manage interview" button and conditional approval showing).
I'm a little concerned something has gone haywire. I had to take both my daughters out of school and drive 40 minutes each way, so I will be none too pleased if I need to go back there with her for some reason. Are the changes to the GOES account always pretty instant after the interview, or does it sometimes take a few days? Is there anyway to actually call and talk to someone that can answer this question? I never get anyone when I call their office.

Hello all, I have tried to read most of the postings here where the Data Points include Date of Application and Date of receipt of Conditional Approval...
My question is, is there any correlation to time of day application is submitted (i.e. early AM vs late PM or anytime in between)? Or it does not matter?
I have found it can take between four (4) and seven (7) business days, on average to get any type of response, which is fine.
Also, does anyone have insight/information as to how many applicants get denials and that time frame?
TIA - bo1953
Do any of these numbers represent the 'potential' KTN?
