Been a while since I last posted.
GE Due to expire in September 2018. I did let me APEC card go as I don't have bonified business dealings in SE Asia any longer.
Applied for renewal: May 21, 2018
Acceptance: June 10, 2018 (Sunday morning- seriously, even after checking last night before bed)
No Interview Required
Very high number of countries visited during my entire time in the program including multiple resident and business Visas depending on the country.
So I would have to agree with 1KChinito after looking at my well-worn passports that it does, in fact, appear quite random.
Cheers
