According to <the wikipost in the Global Entry Walk-In Interviews thread>, no one has tried at San Ysidro/Otay Mesa (San Diego-Mexico) border office. You may wish to give them a call first to see if they take walk-ins. Please let us know your result so we can update wiki. Good luck.

Update:
I waited 2 more days with no conditional approval, so yesterday I decided to send an email using the link posted a few pages back. Checked my account first thing this morning and sure enough, I was approved.
Could be coincidence, or maybe emailing that link really does help - so thanks to whoever shared it!
So to summarize the data:
- wife and I both applied 7/29
- she was approved 8/1
- I was approved 8/15 after emailing
For the interview, thanks to those who recommended trying locations other than Boston, as we've continued checking Boston multiple times each day this week and the message still says "Currently there are no available appointments at this enrollment center". There are appointments available, but not until March 2018 in RI, and Feb 2018 in CT.
I'm seriously considering taking our chances and just trying to walk-in at Boston...

Today, my wife and I decided to try a walk-in at Boston and it worked!
They took care of all the people who had appointments first, then the walk-ins. There were 5 people there for walk-ins by the time we went in (including 2 who were with others who had an appointment).
Total wait time for us was a little over an hour, and they interviewed us at the same time. The officer just verbally verified our addresses, then took our photos and fingerprints. He and didn't even want our ID's...just the approval letter and passports. Total interview time was about 5 mins, and we both got the email notifying us of being approved within an hour.
I'm SUPER thankful I joined this forum and got the head's up about walk-ins - thanks to everyone! (At last check yesterday, Boston STILL wasn't allowing us to schedule an appointment)

Well, yeah. I'm just noting it because Global Entry specifically says to bring proof of residence to the interview (i.e. driver's license, utility bill, etc).

That's different. Unfortunately, while a passport is the gold standard for identification, it does little for proving where you live.

Thought I'd add my data point here. Indian citizen with US LPR card.
Applied: Monday, August 28, 2017.
Conditional approval: Friday, September 1, 2017.
Now I have tentatively scheduled my appointment at Hartford BDL on 10 Feb 2018. Any idea how and if I can get an earlier appointment? Also anyone had luck with walk-in at BDL? I'm traveling to Den next week so I can try my luck with walk in there, anyone had walk in success at DEN?
Thanks.

Since you will be traveling between BDL and DEN, go ahead and try to walk-in. No harm. Again, you might get lucky.
Good luck!
