I think you'll be fine with those timescales. I would definitely book yourself a backup appointment as soon as you get conditional approval though. Don't rely on enrolment on arrival as it often can't be done. We completed our interviews at MCO in August (after Enrollment on Arrival failed at ATL) and the CBP officer who conducted it was really a nice guy. If you can't get a backup appointment at MCO just look at Tampa or Sanford. If the worst happens and you can't get one there look at MIA as they have lots of appointments there every day.

It does seem to be getting ever longer - the US citizen forum is suggesting 150+ days now for CA....
Flying to Boston ia fortnight, so suspect I'll not be doing an approal apointment then. Next trip is scheduled for LAX in April - hopefully I'll have CA in time for that and can do EOA...

Folks,
We fully understand your frustrations with the long waits for conditional approval of your Global Entry applications.
However, please keep in mind that this is an informational forum. It serves no purpose to post several updates a week about how long you have been waiting for approval unless has been a new development, such as having been approved, or your processing time now exceeds what has previously been reported in this thread. Repetitive posting is disruptive and a violation of our rules.
In addition, In addition, per the Travel Safety/Security forums descriptions, please save venting your frustrations, rants and commentaries for the Travel Safety/Security Policy Debate forum.

I've now been waiting for four months - a renewal of Global Entry as a UK citizen. Fingers crossed I get one next month, as I'm going to have to go back through the US at some stage...

Update from me. I went to get my O1 visa renewed last week at the embassy and mentioned the TTP, they said that sometimes an updated visa can speed up the process. So far I'm still on pending review so shall wait and see, currently on 67 days.

Registration on UK Border website (to get the access code): June 3, 2019
UK Border Access Code received: June 3, 2019
Global Entry application submitted: June 4, 2019
Conditional Approval: November 13, 2019
Interview scheduled on: November 14, 2019
Interview date: December 9, 2019
Actual interview date: November 15, 2019 - I was able to get an earlier date at the local enrollment center.
Final approval: December 12, 2019
Scheduling an interview appointment: it's rather frustrating to see that NO APPOINTMENTS are available at your local enrollment center. However, you need to keep checking the availability as it keeps changing almost constantly. I've been monitoring the Schedule Interview website and once I saw an opening I booked it right away. So be patient and eventually you will succeed! You can always try a walk-in on arrival but some airport locations have time restrictions so if your flight is delayed you might miss the office hours. Good luck, everybody!
So, overall the whole process took 6 months. My only advice: be patient. There's nothing you can do to speed up the process.

Approved
Applied 4 June 19
CA 14 Nov 19
164 days
No escalation
Interview and approval today 16 Nov 19
Interview completed at Dublin Airport Pre-Clearance. This is new and they integrate GE CA people into the USA queue and you have to enquire about an interview at the desk, at which point they will take you away to complete the interview in the back. Made our flight in the nick of time too, so all in all, a good day!

Just a heads up for anyone wanting to do EOA at the Dublin pre-clearance facility..... On an unexpected trip to the US and routed to fly via Dublin, hoping to get an interview but there are no interviews breing conducted today. Seems the EOA interviews here are not neccessarily a consistent thing - I guess it depends on staffing? Might be worth bearing in mind if anyone is planning to travel via DUB specifically for an EOA?
However, the nice guy on the desk did do my immigration check for this trip there and then, so I didn't have to go back into the usual non-US immigration line - given how short the GE line was, that did save significant time!
