Great news that approvals have started trickling in! I had a 2 hr wait at JFK for immigration this week and was so mad at Indian govt for delaying this. Anyone from Dec-Jan police verification got approvals yet?

around 4:50pm an officer called out my name & asked for my passport....she took the passport & told me to take a seat in the waiting room again....5 minutes later she called me again & took me over to her desk.... she asked me to verify my name & date of birth....then she took my picture & fingerprints....next she asked if i had ever been arrested or convicted in any criminal activity & whether i had ever applied for global entry before....lastly she asked me to verify my email & postal address....then she told me i was approved & handed me back my passport & a piece of paper with my trusted traveler number....the whole interview process took 2 minutes....i even got the approval email within an hour of leaving the enrollment center.... its unbelievable how the indian government managed to screw this up....it should never have taken a year to get conditional approval but i'm glad its done now.... |
I received conditional approval yesterday - Now have to find an appointment that's not 2-3 months in the future!
I submitted my global entry application, online, in July 2017. Did my passport verification and PCC in India in December 2017. |
Approoved

However, the GE kiosks do not accept or read the cards; everyone, including those who have been issued the cards, must scan their passports or, if applicable, Green Cards or visas. |
Hii,
As indian passport holder with b1/b2 visa when i enter next time to usa i hv to scan my passport or my visa? Because that officer has told me some thing about visa but i didnt understand it... |
Just got my conditional approval earlier this week as well. Had finished police verification in Sept 2017. Finally done after almost 10 months of waiting. I had a nightmarish 3 hour waiting in the middle of the night at JFK immigration literally the day before my conditional approval. Hopefully no more of that.

So I applied in Nov to the US, completed India steps in December 2017. From other's notes, I assume my clearance will come in the next couple of months.
I am on an F-1 Visa however - I was wondering if anyone else has got approval with an F-1 visa. |
Applied in Jan 2018 - still waiting
I applied in Jan 2018 - gave interview at local PSK. Police verification got done within a week. Waiting ever since. No change in status. Wrote to CBP. Same reply as posted by others here - waiting for clearance from the Indian gov. In between, got my B1/B2 renewed and even visited US last month. I hope it gets done before my next visit due in Sep.

I applied in July 2017 and got it approved after 1 year and 2 days. It'll take some time.

I think it tooks a year b4 because government has not setup the system now it must be set so within few weeks it will get clear.
