Something not right then, you should have got an email such as below where it lists the email address if you have any questions.

Dear Joe Blogs

Thank you for your ‘Register to Apply for US Global Entry’ request.

A successful payment of Ł42.00 has been received

What happens next?
......


Contact us at geinbox at homeoffice dot gov dot uk if you have any questions about the UK registration process, quoting your passport number.

To add my own data point, just applied for and received conditional approval for my first GE application (I have an ESTA of course but I have never had GE before).

24 Feb - Registered for UK Border Force access code
24 Feb - Received access code later same day
01 Mar - Submitted GE application
03 Mar - Conditional Approval received

Now just need to wait til my next flight to US next month to do enrollment on arrival.

Very quick turn around for me - first time applicant going for initial enrolment.

16th March - Apply for UK code
17th March - Receive UK code
17th March - Submit GE application
18th March - GE application conditionally approved

Hoping to do interview on arrival at DFW in a few weeks assuming my flight gets in before the 6PM cut off!

What do you do if UK Border Force just are not responding to you? My wife applied weeks ago, emailed when 10 working days had passed without the code. Border Force emailed back telling her to check her spam, which she had obviously already done. She has since emailed 4 times but with no further response. I have my GE conditionally approved and we were planning to do enrolment on arrival in a couple of weeks. Anything we can do?
