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?

First application for my son this week. UK code received within 24 hours. Conditional GE approval received only 36 hours after subsequent application submission.
Very pleased with that. Hopefully EoA is available when we land on upcoming trip, since there are currently no appointments available anywhere we will be during the trip.

If you post questions here (after reading the FAQ on the official GE website because they answer most issues) you'll get accurate answers.
DO NOT use a commercial site to apply for GE. They then have access to a whole load of your personal data.

GE was revoked without reason during the US travel ban period but my US travel picked up last year and I decided to reapply while standing in a long queue at LAX:
26 May '22: Applied for UK access code
27 May '22: Received UK access code
27 May '22: Applied for Global Entry renewal
2 April '23: Conditional Approval
Just got back from the US and don't currently have any further flights booked so the interview will have to wait.

25th April 2023: Applied to renew Global Entry

Since the full GE renewal and passport renewal shortly before that, last week I went to the US for the first time.
New kiosks in SEA instructed me to see the CBP officer (short wait, only one couple before me) who then proceeded with the fingerprint and photo capture, couple of generic questions and that was it. Hopefully, the next time it'll work as it used to.
OTOH, upon returning to LHR T3, my (blue) passport didn't work at the eGate, so had to see BF officer too. Few questions on the length and purpose of my time away (and rubbing the chip symbol on the cover
) later, I was through.

Just renewed mine for the second time:
10 May 2023: Applied for UK Border Force access code.
11 May 2023: Received access code.
11 May 2023: Submitted GE renewal application.
13 May 2023: Received full approval (dated 12 May 2023).
Happy that I don't need an interview, unlike my last renewal!
