12 May 2019 - applied for renewal at one-year mark
22 Sept 2019 - conditional approval (Vermont return address) at 133-day mark 19 Dec 2019 - completed interview on departure from Aruba without appointment 25 Dec 2019 - approval notification (Miami return address) Interestingly, Aruba was not listed in the email I received with interview on “arrival” locations, but there are multiple signs advertising it at AUA and there were two people ahead of me and one after me in line to do it. I was not asked any questions but gave a new set of fingerprints and a new photo. |

International Locations Aruba Aruba Queen Beatrix International Airport Location: International Terminal, Oranjestad, Aruba Hours of Operation: During International Flight Arrivals |
I applied for renewal on 12/17 and received approval (no interview) on 12/26. My approval letter came from a Washington D.C. enrollment office.

Applied for renewal for my six (6) year old son on 12/21 and got conditional approval on 12/27 (interview required, probably because he's a child).
Interesting that even though we live in Atlanta (where my approval letters have come from), his has "Sterling, VA" as the return address. ... and there are no appointments... |

The interview is probably for fingerprints and a new photo.
BTW - my daughter had GE from 2012-2018 (yes, I know that's calendar six years, but it was Nov 2012 > Feb 2018), and we have to renew w/ new fingerprints. |

In the meantime, if your GE has expired (and your precheck with it): if you are traveling with someone who has precheck, have them check you both in for your flight. My wife’s precheck seems to rub off on me, at least.
Meanwhile, day 170 has come and gone... |
So uh, my GE renewal application was just approved, apparently with no interview required. That would be 5 days (3 business days if you don't count Christmas or today). I was completely expecting it to take a month or two minimum, if not 150+ days like others have seen.
Anyway, best of luck to everyone still waiting. ^ |

After reading all the horror stories about processing delays and interview schedules, I decided to make my renewal application early. My husband and I both submitted our applications the evening of Sunday, Dec. 29 and this morning, Jan 1st, we both received notification of approval with no interview required! I guess we got lucky.
I just noticed both of our approval letters came from the Albuquerque office, which happens to be the location where we had our initial interview. |
