Hoping for a little magic myself. Applied on 10/26. Sent an email last week. Got the automated reply. Still waiting. Hope this works.

I too applied on 10/26/18 -- for both me and my 9yo. My 9yo got approved in 7 days. I am still waiting and it's now December 3rd.

I'm a US citizen, no criminal history, lived in same place last 10 yrs, been to one country in last 5 years. I am baffled why it's going on 6 weeks of waiting now. Need some of this forum's good luck!

MarthaMMartha - I am right there with ya,, I applied for both my wife and my self on Nov 18, wifes got conditional at 7 days,,, Me, still waiting.


For the Keyboard comando's out there, I have a Question

We live central Ca. Going to Vegas Dec 15-25. I have made an appoitment for the wife on Dec 18, no issue of course, she has her conditional

I am Really hopping to get my Conditional before we leave on the 15th... Here is the question... IF I get mine BUT I can NOT find an appoitment during our visit.. I was thinking this..

I will go ahead and make one for January... get my appoitment numbers and all that..

When I take the wife to the airport in Vegas for her appoitment interview on the 18th Was going to ask the interviewer.... Hey, I have an appoitment in Jan, here is my paperwork.... anyway you can just do me NOW???

anyone ever try this,, is it even possible to squezze me in ????

Not trying to pull a fast one - that would NOT be a good idea... Just I really do NOT want to have to drive for 3 hours to San Francisco Airport for an appoitment in January...

Of course.. I first have to get my conditional in the next 12 days.

Thanks for your help..

any word yet????

If you receive your conditional approval before 18 Dec 2018, you can always try to interview at the same time as your wife.

If you receive your conditional approval after 18 Dec 2018, you can try to schedule an appointment at Las Vegas enrollment center.

Las Vegas McCarran International Airport (LAS)
Address:5757 Wayne Newton Blvd
Terminal 3 Las Vegas, NV 89119
Hours of Operation: 8:00AM - 2:00PM, Monday - Wednesday, Friday 8:00AM - 1:00PM, Thursday
Contact Information: (702) 736-2253 ext. 6072

If you do not see a desirable time slot, keep checking for cancellations. Best time to check is when that enrollment center is open.

Alternatively you can try to do a walk in interview at SFO. Global Entry Walk-In Interviews

Good luck and come back to let us know your outcome.

DUI from 2005 and Domestic Violence (dismissed) from 2009. A few speeding tickets here and there. Blue Blooded US Citizen. Fingerprints sent to FBI several times (Concealed Weapon, Business). Wife has no passport and never applied for anything; ALWAYS gets Pre-Check. She traveled with my daughter, who is Active Duty Military and that must have triggered something in the system. I know the US Military Intelligence did a background check on me (probably reading this now: Hi Boys).

I fully expect to receive approval in the next week from what the previous data showed. Looking for some FT Luv.

The subject of this thread is timelines of approvals of Global Entry applications!

For indexing and future search purposes, a recent question about the logistics of walk-in enrollment interviews was moved to the Global Entry Walk-In Interviews thread.

Please keep in mind FlyerTalk Rule 5, Stay on Topic, when posting in this thread.

Check out my post on #5513 above. My guess is that you'll get approval at 50-55 days. I think you generally fall into one of three tranches: 3-7 days, 35-40 days, or 50-55 days. I have no idea why, but the data people have offered here points to that pattern. I don't think history, age, nationality, or background matters much. I applied for my minor son (17) and my RENEWAL on the same day. Both of us got conditional approval on 50/51 days. Meanwhile I saw plenty of people that applied after us get approval. It's maddening.

DId you ever get it? How long did it finally take?

CBP MUST read FT forums. It only took 24 hours after posting on FT; then conditionally approved.
35 Days from application to conditional approval.

Wish that was the case but I posted about my ridiculous wait on Monday and still nothing. Have a trip to Germany for work in January and have the feeling I will be going through the regular line again. Maybe this second post with be the lucky one.
