Smile Global Entry Data point - 1.5+ year wait time

Dec 9th 2021 - Applied on GEP website
Dec 10th 2021 - Applied on India PSK website
Dec 17th 2021 - Visited PSK in India to submit docs.
Dec 20th 2021 - Visited Police station for Verification
July 17th 2023 - Conditionally approved.
July 21st 2023 - Interview at Global Entry Enrollment center
July 24th 2023 - Application status : Approved!!!!


I did contact Indian PSK many times to get an update on my application. All they could tell me was that Its waiting for approval by Ministry of Finance. The PSK website has a option for me to submit a Grievance/feedback where I sent them my File number & ARN (Both of which are visible on your psk account when you log in).
I filed a second Global entry application assuming my first application was stuck and would never get approved. However, I was never able to use the new global entry application number to start the processing through the Indian authorities.
I did not use any influence or anything to speed up the Ministry of Finance (pretty obvious looking at my timeline)
Nothing other than waiting and forgetting about my Global entry application helped.
