Change of visa with Global Entry

Anyone have any experience with Global Entry + Visa changes?

My situation:
- German citizen.
- I worked in the US on an L1B when I first got Global Entry.
- I then transitioned to an H1B.

When getting the H1B stamped, I asked if I had to do anything or if Global Entry would update "on its own". The people at the embassy said it should just work. When I reentered in SEA after the H1B, the Global Entry Kiosk just had the L1 as an option and I had to go to the border guard and 'manually' do my paperwork. The border guard mentioned that I had to change it in GOES.
Looking around in GOES, I can't find anything. It's possible that they just took a guess. The GOES email support usually takes 3-4 months [sic] to answer, so I'm still waiting on that.
Now I wonder if anyone in here had a similar situation and it just takes longer than 1-2 weeks for the global entry database to sync up or if I would actually have to tell anyone, maybe even redo the enrollment?
