Got really lucky and managed to get an appointment at JFK same morning I had gotten my CA. Process was very straightforward and easy and was only asked to review questions that were on application. Have travelled to ME and South Asia multiple times in past 18 months and wasn't questioned on any other "exotic" countries.

Haven't done a "first time" GE for a while. The website seems to suggestion one should return to check status. I seem to recall in the past, they'd send an email notification. Have they stopped this practice?
Once a CA is received, I know one must find an appointment. If one is re-entering the US, is one able to just "walk-in" without an appointment for the interview?
Anyways, I submitted both my parents (65+) yesterday. They have a very long list of countries visited in the past 5yrs so we'll see if that affects the timeline.

Global Entry Enrollment on Arrival
The Enrollment on Arrival program eliminates the need for a Global Entry applicant to schedule an interview at an enrollment center to complete the application process.
When landing in an international terminal follow the signage directing you to CBP officers who can complete your Global Entry interview during your admissibility inspection.

Is there any way to get a GE rep on the phone? Someone above has multiple criminal records and a huge history and was approved in 3 months. My son, is 4 months and has been waiting longer than that individual and is STILL awaiting approval.

if you call that number you will wait for atleast 45 mins and after that they will read the same information back to you what you see on the website....if you have time and want to feel good... call that number.

UPDATE 7/30- Status changed to Conditional Approval. I enjoyed a few minutes of happiness before beginning the appointment process. Pretty much nothing available anywhere I'd reasonably travel to. A few all the way out in 2033.
Then, I noticed appointments would randomly show up in all regions and be gone in 30 seconds. I decided to become that Kayak add guy with all the hands tied together and Bam! SFO came up next week. It took pretty much the whole day. Will need a new refresh button

If you have any past charges/dismissals BRING PAPERWORK & PROOF. Without it I would have been denied most likely as their system doesn't always show the outcome of past issues.
Good luck to everyone, hang in there...
