For my family members’ GE renewals, even for the relatives given conditional approval and asked to do a interview, they have only been getting PreCheck during the time between application and now — and seen no SSSS flagging since renewal application submission — when flying PreCheck eligible carriers from outside of the US too.

applied for renewal 3/22
still listed as pending as of today 6/1

I moved, started a fed job, and have traveled to most of the continents in the last 5 years, and have worries I may have left a country or two out (all of which are probably making things fun for my reviewer).

Will update when I hear back.

After some initial “we’re in no hurry to renew” we decided this morning (Sunday, 2 June) to pull the trigger and renew. Technically we were both good until February/March of next year. Actually had a bit of catch up to do on our countries visited since 2014. The thing that gives us pause about whether or not we’ll have to go to an interview is our travel, via a cruise, that stopped in Egypt, Jordan, Oman, and the UAE. I remember from our first interview all the agent said when he saw the list of countries visited was that we must cruise a lot as most countries listed were in the Caribbean. He said something along the lines that since we were on a ship and really didn’t stay on the various islands it wasn’t like we stayed there but safer to list and let CBP sort out the potential impact. Egypt and UAE might be a little different this time around because we did stay overnight on land in both countries. We’ll see how it goes.

Thanks for sharing. Push come to shove it would be easier for me to get selected for an interview than my wife. She works full time and has little free time to run off to an interview. Being semi-retired the little work I get nowadays can be done on the computer so I have plenty of free time to shuffle off to the airport for an interview. Interesting that with identical travel one gets interviewed and other not. Maybe there’s some kind of random selection process whereas they’ll interview X number but Y number get renewed without an interview.

Mrs K changed her job a bit. She went from being a division chief to the chief of staff. Same agency and same location but different title and phone number. Still US Army civilian so they may or may not pick up on that. Nothing changed on my information except the countries visited.

My wife and I just applied for renewal a little over a week ago. From what people are reporting, it’s not clear who gets renewed quickly and who has to wait months for an interview. Some questions-

1. For those who do get an email, who is the sender and what is the title? It’ll help us sift through the junk and search better.

2. My wife’s GE expires on 7/20/20. We applied for renewal on 5/25. Since some wait more than 2 months, what will happen if we don’t hear by 7/20? The renewal application will automatically convert to a new application?

3. My wife has been a stay at home mine since our baby was born 15 months ago. In her renewal app, we put “not employed” for this period. I’m wondering now if that might be considered “high risk”. Should we have our SAHM?

Thanks

When will my membership expire and how soon can I renew my membership?
