My wife has her Conditional Renewal----Now waiting and waiting and waiting for them to start doing interviews again!!!!! :-(

Full approval after 294 days
 

I just received my GE renewal approval, no interview needed. Flat out approved after 294 days.

I was totally shocked. In the past five years I have been to some shady countries, and countries on the US naughty list, and declared all of those in my renewal application. When entering the US I was even once pulled aside to secondary, where they took my passport and after a while came back with it, no questions asked, have a nice day. I had many stamps and visas with squiggly characters in there, including Iranian. Based on my travels I thought I would be denied or conditionally approved to be grilled at the interview. But no, full approval.

Now if only borders were open and I could travel again...

You are able to update address and DL via TTP website. I had not updated prior to initiating my renewal and was approved in one business day. Note my move was in state and new DL was enhanced.

Are most people being renewed by the same location as their original approval? Original approval came via my interview location (expected) but the renewal also came from that location (which is not my home airport then or now) which surprised me.

My recent renewal came from my original interview location. Mine did not take quite as long most recent reports (242 days).

YES. And my interview location was nowhere near my home location. Not then, not now.

I am now tied with [MENTION=241249]topcat_dcx[/MENTION] for longest wait from renewal to approval. 292 days! I do not need an interview, my original expiration (had I not renewed) was Jan 2020.

Sorry! And I'm still waiting.

I guess you missed my post some 3 or 4 above yours. I was approved after 294 days. Sorry to dethrone you.

The king is dead. Long live the king! :)

Yikes.

I am not sure how to see my exact date, but it was mid-Oct. Still waiting.

Log on to your TTP account, and go to your dashboard. At the bottom of the right column you can access your payment history; the date of the most recent payment should be when you applied for renewal.

Thank you.

October 17, 2019. Still waiting. :(

:idea: I think you are the current winner! (or loser - depending on how you look at it)

I've had GE for about nine years. Never a renewal notice and never applied for renewal. Last used 2019 without issue. Is this common?
