I applied to renew my Global Entry membership over the weekend. Less than 24 hours later they responded with conditional approval-- great news! Now I only have to complete an interview (WHY??) -- horrible news! There is
nothing available that does not require a costly trip or a ridiculous wait.
Zoom interviews? None available through the end of 2023.
San Francisco office? Also nothing.
Las Vegas? Nothing.
Portland, OR? Nothing.
San Diego? Nothing.
Los Angeles? There's an appointment available
51 weeks from now.
There are appointments sooner if I'm willing to fly a lot further and on a weekday. This is a
farce.
I imagine, though, that additional appointment slots get loaded into the system periodically. I observed that happening last time I did this ridiculous dance 5 years ago. Does anyone know when new slots usually become available?
