UK Citizen
UK Background application, March 3rd, 2022. Approval in about 2 hours.
GE Application, March 4th, 2022
Conditional approval, July 3rd, 2022. No travel booked but plenty planned in the next 3 months.
Do I just show up for enrollment at entry next time I fly to the USA or must I book an appointment? Looking at available appointments, it looks very sparse.

Global Entry Enrollment on Arrival
Enrollment on Arrival is a program operated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to allow Global Entry applicants who are conditionally approved to complete their interviews upon arrival into the United States. The Enrollment on Arrival program eliminates the need for a Global Entry applicant to schedule an interview at an enrollment center to complete the application process.
When landing in an international terminal follow the signage directing you to CBP officers who can complete your Global Entry interview during your admissibility inspection. You wont need any additional documents other than the requisite documents for international travel (e.g., your passport).

Use to ask to scan the passport or they just do that by face recognition now ?

Went back to JFK, there is an office in T4 arrivals. Explained the situation. I was asked if I'd been arrested or any customs violations then photo and fingerprints. Five minutes later it said approved online and I had precheck for my flight out two days ago. If yours still hasn't come through I would advise you to call up the JFK office, NOT THE MAIN LINE they're useless.
And yes, you have to wait for full approval to use the KTN

If you have not been approved or denied within 30 days after your interview, we advise that you contact the Enrollment Center to have your application adjudicated. You may need to leave a voicemail. If you do not see a change in your application status or are unable to reach the Enrollment Center or leave a message, please reply to this email.
UPDATE: And just like that, the application has now been approved!

Pleasantly surprised as this was quite a bit quicker than I expected. Hoping to do EoA at JFK T7 late August.

We completed EoA at TPA on the 19th. We were told to wait until all the passengers had been processed then come back to the window to be interviewed. So after waiting an hour and a half, the 'interview' process took about 10 mins to collect photos and fingerprints. Very friendly guy, only questions he asked were if we were US residents and if we held any other passports. Didn't ask to see our proof of address either. Status changed to Approved the next morning.

No appointment, just join the queue, process take no more than 10 mins, just depends how many people are in front of you for EonA when you arrive.
