So of ordinary Indian citizens who have a history of being resident only in India while visiting the US, none have yet been approved for Global Entry?

I completed my GEP verification in july 2017 itself. I am currently on H1b visa living in US. I contacted PSK help desk and I was advised to talk to external ministry to find out what happened.

Most people here appear to have applied in July last year. Anyone know what happens to our Global Entry applications if the Indian government doesn't complete its process by July this year? Will our applications continue to be processed by CBP?

In case it’s approved, you have 1 year to give your CBP interview.

I completed Police verification in July 2017. I have been in holding pattern since then with the website still showing in process awaiting further documents from GOI.

No one except the Indian Ambassador to the US seems to have progressed beyond this step......

For the record B1/B2 visa live in India & applied in New Delhi..... All fingerprinting aadhar & other document verification was done back in July 2017 (I was apparently applicant # 2 in Delhi). Upto the police verification is was smooth & fast.....after that nothing.....
