Just finished off my interview in ORD. Had no appointment, walked in around 3p on a Saturday, got called at 3:30p, was done after 15 minutes. Very friendly and helpful staff. There were around 15 people waiting in the room, it seems like most of them had interviews scheduled.

BWI Changes Hours
 
Went to BWI Center on Sat 7/23. The Sat hours changed from 1-6 pm (which are still on the CBP website) to 1:15 - 4 pm. The sign posted said walk-ins are accepted on though the CBP website states that they open at 1:00 pm.

Welcome to FT. Thank you for sharing. Did you go to BWI with or without an appintment? Presume you were accepted.

Without an appointment...

Thank you for your clarification. I am sure many would like to try as a walk in at SEA without an appintment.

Global Entry PHL
 
Somebody on this thread was not so long ago asking about how often the scheduling availability is updated for GE. I have confirmed my suspicions that

GLOBAL ENTRY IS *UPDATED IN REAL-TIME*

Both CBP Officers as well as The automated voice when calling PHL gives this information during the greeting.

Sidenote: PHL automated greeting says they do not take Walk-Ins. The CBP's told me they absolutely welcome them, but appointments take priority.

There was at least 4 officers running through people quickly. PHL Officers are extremely friendly. I was an hour early and they took me. It lasted about five minutes.

Sorry for the late reply. No, I did not attempt a walk in on Monday. Just Tuesday. I haven't called to confirm either.

To clarify, I attempted a walk-in on Tuesday and was denied.

I can't edit the wiki yet, but if someone could add this, I'd appreciate it.

Just updated wiki for you. Keep trying new searches is your best friend.

24/7 until 11 Aug 2016. https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/local-m...-hours-247-sfo

Many reported walk in success, wait time varies. Good luck and let us know your result.

Thanks. I will definitely report. But I cannot make it to SFO until the last week of August, when it looks like the hours will be 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM. I may just try mid day and see how I do. thanks again, zc

What time of day?
