Mrs. B submitted renewal app, approved within 48 hours, no interview ^ Considered also submitting ABTC app but decided against it as she hasn't really done sufficient biz travel for my company.

Just my 2 cents but I think the interview (or lack thereof) is majorly dependend on the countries that you visited in the prior 5 years.

Got conditional approval 2 days ago, By chance I happened to be in Canada. Flew back to USA Today and did interview on arrival at YUL.

The CBP agent I was initially talking to was unfamiliar with the process and told me it would probably take hours. I said I had the time. He sent me to a supervisor to find out how to do it. The supervisor just sent me back to a specific lane (that was processing some other person for a regular entry)… as soon as they finished the entry for that person, they did my “interview”. Only question asked was my address. Took about 15 minutes of him clicking away at the computer without talking to me, and 5 minutes of processing fingerprints and taking a new photo.

status changed on the website a few hours later.

the soonest appointment at the airport closest to me was November 23… so this was way more convenient!

Helpful, but I'm confused. If you are conditionally approved, can you just walk into an office at an international arrivals airport for an interview?
Did it inform you of this option in the Conditional Approval Notification? And YUL is Montreal, n'est ce pas?
Also, I'm assuming this is for GE, and not Nexus, since this is GE thread. Is that correct?
I'm also facing a long wait for (third) interview or expensive border crossing, and hoping for some other option.
Thanks!

Enrollment on Arrival is a program operated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to allow Global Entry applicants who are conditionally approved to complete their interviews upon arrival into the United States or when using CBP Preclearance facilities. The Enrollment on Arrival program eliminates the need for a Global Entry applicant to schedule an interview at an enrollment center to complete the application process.

When landing in an international terminal follow the signage directing you to CBP officers who can complete your Global Entry interview during your admissibility inspection.

My wife applied for renewal on 1/20/23. She received conditional approval on 1/23/23. She was able to snag a Zoom interview for 2/24/23. The time she applied, there were actually a good deal of open slots for February. No doubt luck of the draw.

I'll report when I apply next month.

Applied for Global Entry renewal on Feb 8, 2023. Approved on April 10, 2023. No interview needed. I'm kind of stunned by the rapid processing, hopefully others are receiving the same turnaround.

Seems like it is either instant approval or months of waiting.
~260 days and counting for me, clean record.

Applied: May 29th
Approval: N/A

Follow-Up on my side:

Applied: Feb. 7th
Conditionally Approved: Feb 9th
Zoom Interview Scheduled: Feb 15th

One point of note: I initially scheduled the interview in Huntsville, AL for late October because there was nothing else near me. But I then spent the next day trying to see if I could snag a Zoom appointment. It took a couple tries, but in mid afternoon, there was a bunch of opening for the mid-February. So, it might be good to try to a few different times during the day.

The Zoom interview took literally two minutes. Asked to see passport and drivers license, and asked why I visited Turkey. I was formally approved 15 minutes later. Card should be here ten days/

Interesting that they asked about Turkey, sounds like they are flagging Turkey visits. That might explain why our approval (we have Turkey visit in 2021) did not come through right away.
