Just to follow up on my application for Global Entry and the issue of trying to get appointments for my wife and I. I have been watching the San Antonio airport and as a back up the Austin airport. For the last month they both just show "Appts full through xxxxxx" with no option to do anything. I had been told, probably here, to check next week at 0900 since that is when they usually list new appts. So I was planning to do that, and if that didn't help I was going to try and call them and see what I could find out (previous calls weren't answered). My backup backup plan was to make appts at the airport in Houston which always seem to be available. We have good friends in the Houston area so we could go visit and do the interviews.

Tonight I read something online that made me decide to go check the TPS site - and sure enough when I checked Austin there were appts available over the next 2 weeks. I was about to grab one then go back in for my wife, when I decided I should at least check San Antonio - and they did in fact have a calendar of dates available through Mar 15th. Most were early morning with only 1 appt available and no others close to that time - but on the 15th they had one at 3pm that I grabbed then went back in my wife's account and grabbed the 3:10 appt!!!

A lot can happen in the next 2 weeks but for now I am happy and relieved!
