I have a short connection at JFK T8 in September and will be in the wrong terminal for enrolment at arrival, plus I don’t think I will have time to go to T4.
According to the EOA page on the CBP website it's available

Terminal Eight America Airlines, Booth #1
6:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m.

I would take a punt and just ask politly when you get there even if it's after the official hours to see if it can be done. You could pleed confusion as to whether 12.00 am is midnight or noon

And of course depending on your travel movements you could make an appointment elsewhere during your visit.

In the United States, 12:00 am is midnight and 12:00 pm is noon.

Thank you so much, for some reason when viewing on a mobile I only saw JFK T4.

Do you know if enrolment on arrival includes global entry on that occasion? Or not, as you aren't fully enrolled yet?

Is there an easy way to find out which enrollment centers accept walk-ins? Or do generally all of them?
My conditional approval (for renewal) came through yesterday - 105 days for me so pretty much the same timeframe as yours.

The Enrollment on Arrival program allows Global Entry applicants who are conditionally approved to complete their enrollment interview and receive final approval of their Global Entry application upon arrival into the United States. You cannot use the Global Entry Kiosk until after you had received final approval of your application

Please refer to the following threads for additional information:

Same timeline, but interesting that some get conditional approval for renewal and some get full approval.

I'd hoped that having just been into the US a couple of weeks ago that I might not have to do the interview but other than that trip, my travel history to the US in the last two years was zero (like many others obviously) so maybe that has something to do with it. Anyway, have another couple of trips lined up in the next 6 months so will arrange the interview for the next one.

Don't forget that an Enrollment on Arrival interview is an option. It eliminates the need for scheduling an interview at an enrollment center to receive final approval of the Global Entry application.

Travelling to IAD on January 14th so hopefully I’ll get conditional approval before then!
Conditional Approval received today, so 105 days since applying.

Travelling to MCO on April 18th so hopefully can get enrolment on arrival that day!

Apologise if this has been asked and answered before.

Ive got UK and NZ passports and am moving to the US on a work visa. Can I apply for Global Entry under the UK scheme and still use my NZ passport to enter and exit the US? Or would I always need to use my UK passport?

Im hoping once you got GE and TSAPreCheck through the UK passport it wont matter from a domestic travel perspective and its just whether GE is tied to the passport or the person.

GE is tied to the specific passport you applied with, so I would expect you have to use your UK passport to enter the US if you want GE.

For domestic travel I don't think it matters as long as you have some form of valid ID, you would just enter your KTN in to your booking to get TSAPre.

OK great. Thanks for this. Much appreciated. Now just have to see if I can get the E-2 visa linked to both passports or if have to choose one or the other.

Either I got lucky or things are improving on the timelines recently reported here. For a recent renewal, just over 24 hours for UK Border Force code (pretty typical, I think). Full approval received from CBP just over 11 days after submitting renewal application online. No interview (virtual or physical) required.

Wasn't concerned about it, given the 24 month extension currently in place for renewals, but nice to have it sorted so quickly for the next 5 years.
