Seattle applicants
 

Hi there, anyone in Seattle? I’m in Seattle and applied August 16th. My GE doesn’t expire until February. I was hoping applications are reviewed locally since the Seattle CBP always has appointments open. Thanks in advance.

I am glad I did this early. I require an interview and could not schedule one until November. If I cant make that one I still have time. Does anyone know if Fort Lauderdale does walk ins?

Pleased to reply that I received my approval this morning. 2 business days turnaround in the JFK bureau.

Only sad that I didn't travel to more countries in the last 5 years.

I'm now on day 121. I applied for renewal two months before my expiration in July, but now it is September and I'm still waiting. Thankfully, they extended the grace period to a whole year for benefits. But, my passport expires in March, I just hope I can get GE renewed before then.

Given 121 days, you are likely to hear back in just a couple more days. Do check the web site since emails are hit/miss.

I check the website twice a day (in the morning and evening), I've never depended upon receiving an email since I know that is unlikely.

Hi there, I'm in Seattle. I applied on May 15th, 111 days ago. I stopped by the Global Entry Interview office at Sea-Tac two weeks ago and was informed that I should be prepared for a 5 month wait.

Going through this thread from the beginning, you'll note that the review time is growing, not shrinking.

Still waiting too
 

Filed renewal 5/17/2019 for 7/30/2019 expiration. Now 9/3/2019, 16 weeks, 110 days. Still listed as "Pending Review"

Yes wait times appear to be growing BUT that STILL doesn't explain why SOME people are getting renewed with no interviews within a week. Again, hubby and daughter, we all live in same city, travel together, re-applied together, they got theirs in a week post-renewal app. I am now on day 85.

Just got renewed! Only took 123 days :rolleyes: No interview required, thankfully, even though I had moved from Georgia to California. Interestingly, the "letter" informing me of my renewal (as noted on the Dashboard) comes from the Atlanta Georgia station where I originally interviewed 5 years ago. I'm just glad I don't have to re-interview anywhere!

Got an approval notice from the Long Beach, CA office today at exactly 4 months - applied May 5, approved Sep 5. No interview required.

I'm due in January and haven't submitted my renewal paperwork yet. Because if the grace period is there a reason I should be doing that "yesterday"? My wife is likely about to apply for a card that comes with GE renewal and already renewed this year, so if I can wait another few weeks to a month for her card application and delivery I really want to. Thoughts?
