At 17 days and still counting. Meanwhile, DW, who also applied on March 22, got conditional approval April 2 and passed her interview today April 8 at SFO with flying colors. While she was in the hot seat, I spent the five minutes outside the office with a young woman from Alaska, whose timeline was nearly identical, so she was pretty happy too.

I have been waiting for 60 days. I applied for Global Entry and still showing "Pending Review". Maybe they discovered I skipped school when I was a kid. Is this normal? I have two out of the country trips this summer. I was hoping to use this service. Maybe not now.

Are there lots of people who applied in January still waiting for conditional approval? Just checking stats... I applied Jan 31st and am on my 68th day of waiting, so if the 69-70 days have been consistant, most of the January applicants should be approved by now...
I'm getting nervous as I get closer to my 70 day window...

Since I was conditionally approved 2 weeks before my planned international trip, there wasn't time to get an interview prior to the trip. However, the Mobile Passport app (referenced earlier in this thread) was an awesome substitute. Coming back into MSP, we had no wait and went straight to an agent. Cleared customs faster than the folks with GE, since they had to go to a kiosk first.

While Mobile Passport App is great, it does not offer TSA PreCheck.

Any non-sensitive details you can share with us on your profile vs your husband/daughter? Past travels or name similar to some famous villain perhaps? I appreciate that seeking logic with a federal agency is exactly logical itself but I want to give them the benefit of the doubt. With paper forms I can see how staff can grab any random or specific application they want to work with and nobody will be the wiser. With electronic forms, that'd be a little harder to do and certainly harder to get away with regardless of whether it was oversight or for other reasons.
