See post #1330 above. 260 days is longer than 8 months.

FWIW - I applied at about the same time - maybe a week earlier - and I am still waiting.

Applied September 28, just received approval today. No interview required. 263 days.

The wife and I both had GE that expired in 2018. We are going to do some traveling and figured we better renew our GE. Since we had a two lapse we figured we would have to go through the whole process again because of the two year gap. Filled out applications and submitted in early June. Checked status a few times and always “Pending review “. Finally received e-mail of status change. Checked and both of ours were “approved.” No interview required. We had real ID so not sure if that mattered. Non the less, 7 days from submission to approval. Had to buy new cards though.

Applied for renewal Nov 19, 2019, still waiting; 217 days so far.
Sigh. |

My wife and I applied to renew on December 1, 2019 and hers came through in 3 days, but required an interview. I am still waiting 208 days later. We have nearly the same list of countries (mine added South Korea and the Netherlands but we both listed Cuba too).
Her appointment is two weeks from now and it is an 8-hour drive for us to get there. I called to see if there is any chance of pushing mine though so we can only make one interview trip. Not possible.

If you're willing to plan a domestic vacation trip around a Global Entry interview and are willing to fly to get to your vacation destination, Tucson (of all places) had openings this summer the last time I checked. (I've got a short trip planned there in August specifically to do my Global Entry renewal interview. Thought I'd do it in the summer months, in case we have a second surge of the virus in the fall once everyone's back to spending more time indoors.)

Not possible. We had an appointment in Tucson and planned to drive there from Reno (13 1/2 hours). A few days ago an appointment opened up in Salt Lake which reduces the drive to 8 hours. Of course only my wife is approved - mine is still pending so we will likely have to make the drive twice. Maybe you'll luck out and not have to go for an interview. |

Las Vegas has some openings in July, but probably doesn't save much drive time from Reno.

I applied on either 11/04/2019 or the next day and was approved on the evening of June 12. If my experience reflects the current speed they are doing the backlogged renewals, you should be approved in about two weeks.

Global Entry Renewal Processing Time
I submitted Global Entry renewal application for my 9 year old daughter last November, the status is still showing "Wait for conditional approval" 8 months later, is this normal?

I submitted and certified my application on 7/12/20; it was pending on morning of 7/13/20, and just about 6 hours ago (on 7/13/20), i received a notification that my application was approved (no conditional...just flat out approved)...!???
Is this typical? ONE day turnaround? I was expecting it to take 200+ days, so I just submitted it now instead of waiting a few more wks until September when it expires -- I was hoping to get the "extra year" by submitting close to the expiration date.... Had I known I would be approved in ond day, I would have waited until the day before it expired to certify. I guess I won't complain, since what's done is done, but is this typical??? I fly1-2x/month round tryp domestically and have a decent amount of international travel, none to "terrorist zones", if that makes any difference? |

My wife submitted her renewal yesterday; it was approved today (no interview). Countries visited in the last five years: Japan, Netherlands, Austria, Germany, Honduras, Guatemala, Costa Rica and Brazil. Probably helps that none of her basic information has changed in >20 years, and she never gets into trouble.
