Thanks for all the updates! I applied last week, so I am currently pending review. Hope to get to the next stage soon.

There is one thing that's currently not quite clear to me. In order to get Global Entry benefits, can I apply for that during my interview? Or do I just need to get an Iris scan? And for that, do I need to go to Canada? Maybe someone can explain the steps to get Global Entry and TSA precheck benefits?

Thanks!
