Since the US government shutdown, has anyone, UK or other, had any updates about their GE renewal or application? Mine still shows as Pending but as it expires in a week or so, getting a bit concerned. Does anyone know if due to current situation, GE expiration dates are being extended?
Hope other members have good news soon!

So my wife and I both submitted renewal applications on 27/12/2018, and they have been "Pending Review" ever since. Not sure what the issue is - we haven't done any dodgy trips as far as I am aware. In the email confirming our renewal submissions it suggested 2 weeks was the typical time for provision approval.
Anyone else waiting a long time for a decision?

So, I will be doing my enrollment on arrival on my next trip next month! Then hoping for TSA Precheck on the return journey!

If yours is a first time application, make sure to add your KTN to your PNR of the existing reservation after you receive final approval. Take a look at this thread:

As reported in the initial and renewal processing timelines threads, emails are often not sent or received when there are changes in the status of the applications.

The status change email came today and I’ve been conditionally approved, so 70 days end to end. Looks like they’re making inroads into the backlog.

Have't seen any success with renewing GE without a UK Access Code so went to start the process this evening - only to find the site falling over, rather frustratingly on the last page after you've entered all your details! Anyone else used it successfully recently?

I'm doing a renewal and 5 years ago I was sent a certificate for this part so I was doing the access code process for the first time.
Just waiting for my GE renewal approval now which is going to be the longest part of the process.

I used it about 10 days before you and it was fine then. Approval came through within 5 days.

First GE renewal successfully completed and all very straight forward. Required an interview (possibly due to multiple entries to countries that US has fallen out with ?) but this was easily scheduled and completed in the Doha office during a 20hr layover between flights.

My husband and I both applied on February 4th and are still waiting. It's frustrating that they aren't first in first out. 57 days and counting. I'm hoping we have it in another week or so. Thanks for all of the information out here! I was starting to worry that our applications were held in limbo for some reason.
A significant minority do get conditional approval within a couple of weeks but, for the rest of us, it's currently taking around 70 days. I haven't seen an explanation why it's one or the other but, from recent reports on FT, it's either been less than 14 days or more than 67. There is a CBP employee who has posted in this sub forum, but I think s/he works in a port or enrollment centre, not where applications are processed.
As a Brit, I had to apply to the UK Government to get a code in order to apply to the US Government for Global Entry - which increased the total cost by over 50%. However, the UK should probably review their automated email response:
Dear peter h
You have successfully registered to apply for US Global Entry.
(stuff)
It takes around 2 weeks to be provisionally accepted. You must then book an interview at a US enrolment centre.
Just hoping I get conditional approval before I arrive at JFK over Easter!
