Interviews on arrival at JFK T7 were available yesterday (19 August 2022)
Arrived on BA113 around 7pm. Immigration hall was busy - both US and non US passport lines
I was renewing GE (UK passport). Asked at the passport booth about interview on arrival for GE renewal and was told to wait "by the flag" past passport control (by passport booth 17/18). A CBP officer walked by a minute later and asked if anyone was waiting for an interview. Two other people were already waiting there. Took about 20 mins for the first one to be taken away for an interview (which took 10 mins). After waiting maybe 30 mins I got my interview. Very quick. New photo and fingerprints. 24 hours later no sign of the status being changed yet
My wife (travelling with me, US passport) also had an interview to get GE for the first time. Also took about 5 mins (we were interviewed together back to back). Her status is still pending 24 hours later
Unlike previous attempts they did not say the queues had to be cleared and the hall empty before they would release staff to do the interview. Whole things took around 40 mins - finished before the bags arrived from the flight

GE renewal: I have my UK access code but I'm unable to proceed to submit an application on ttp website. It gets stuck at the Security Notification.
Anyone else had this?
I've tried in Safari and Chrome.
I submitted a support case but I'm not holding my breathe for a speedy response.

OK folks. Confirming that DFW has an Enroll on Arrival separate immigration booth - booth 60 which is the very furthest away from the Global Entry machines. The line manager told me about it when I asked. My BA193 arrived on time. I deplaned at 1702hrs, hit booth 60 at 1708hrs, and my “interview” was completed 1 minute later. Absolutely superb service.
havnt had the email confirmation yet but the agent said 24-48 hours. He didn’t even look at or scan my passport and said the camera recognised me already from previous visits.
good luck all.

Hi,
I applied for GE in November 2021 hoping to do interview on arrival on a trip in March, that didn’t happen! Conditionally approved June 5th 2022 am now hoping to do the interview at O’Hare in early December.
Probably a dumb question but as a UK resident and passport holder do I get given a GE card? Apologies if the answer is up-thread but I couldn’t find it.
Thanks

I'm arriving on an AA flight from LHR in December into JFK Termnal 8 at around 7pm. Will there be enrollment on arrival available at that time? USBPC website states
"Terminal Eight America Airlines, Booth #1 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m" Those opening times must rule out a lot of EU arrivals.

Maybe a record?
I have a short notice trip to the US planned this week, so I thought I'd try my luck with renewal of expired (by 6months) GE, to hopefully beneft from EoA rather than the hassle of trying to make schedules match with an interview by appointment.
UK Border Force submission Fri 2pm (23rd Sept)
UK Border Code received Sun 1am (25th Sept)
GE renewal form submitted via TTP Sun 9am (25th Sept)
Full approval (not conditional) received Mon 11am (26th Sept)
I was hoping (against the odds) to get conditional approval in time for Enrollment on Arrival later this week - no need for that now!

Update
UK access code application made at 19.09 on 4 September.
Access code issued 23.10 the same day.
GE renewal application made around 23.30 on 4 September.
Status change to conditional approval at 07.40 on 6 September.
Hoping to do Interview on Arrival at JFK T7 next month. 19.15 arrival. What are the chance of the interview booth being manned at that time?

It was a very efficient process. UK access code to full approval in 25 days.
