I sent in my application Feb 6 and still no conditional approval. Is there any way to contact CBP and ask about when it might be? I don't fly til 5/30 but I'm getting a little worried.

But why would you care whether it’s 1+ or 8+?

I'm grateful we have some visibility to the appointment calendar at all, as it gives program participants an idea of setting their expectations. Under the prior site "GOES", there was no non-logged-in visibility to the appointment calendar.

At the end of the day, it only matters what appointment slots are available at the moment a particular TTP member tries to schedule their appointment. The non-logged-in view helps us get a sense of the availability at the various locations.

its actually tomorrow morning.... I hope. It’s at the Richmond VA office which just randomly showed appts one day and then never again. I’ve tried to call a few times just to verify it wasn’t a glitch but no luck getting through.

When i I log in it just shows conditionally approved on the timeline, no letter of conditional approval? Do I need this for the interview?

For indexing and future search purposes, a recent question about the logistics of a Global Entry enrollment interview which has nothing to do with processing timelines was moved to the following thread:

Pick an interview site, pick an open day (click on "choose this date"), and a weekly timeslot calendar will appear.

Some sites are open all day, while other sites have more limited opening hours.

To actually reserve an interview timeslot, you must first be logged into your TTP account. However, the above non-logged-in "read only" view of the schedule will give you an idea of the times your desired site is usually open.
Thanks for the info. This is something new.

I applied on 3/29/19 and got conditionally approved today, 4/4/19. I have been out of the country twice in the last year. My interview will be at JFK tomorrow. It really is a crap shoot.

Is it typically this difficult to enroll children? I stopped by the center in person on Friday and just got the run-around ("they'll get to it when they get to it"). Any idea how long this can go on? Is there anything more I can do?

I was hoping to use this next week and I wouldn't have signed up if I knew there was a risk of getting stuck in limbo this long.

Has anyone been successful doing a second interview (at a different location) when the first one is stuck like this?
Finally approved today! It took just shy of 3 weeks after the interview for final approval. My sister works for CBP and I decided to ask her for help. She had some contacts at the enrollment center and quickly found out who needed to finalize the application. Minutes later I got the approval e-mail. I'm glad my daughter has GE now (so the whole family can use it), but I don't feel like I should have needed go to this length just to finalize her approval. Anyway, just wanted to provide an update that it's resolved.

keep checking! I’ve got a 2 month wait for the interview. Since there isn't a center in KS,NE,IA or AR, we get a lot of those people. I have tokeep checking for cancelations now.

Finally! Applied 1/25, conditionally approved 4/4! Interview scheduled for mid June. But, will most likely complete the interview upon arrival in May! But will keep checking for interviews prior to the trip. Would like to use pre-check for this trip!
