Just doing my GOES application (the Home Office side took less than 24 hours), there are no enrolment centres listed outside the US / Canada - is that a change, or is it just an old web page without all the locations this thread has been talking about (e.g. Citi / CBI / US Embassy etc.)?

Am checking a few times a day if the London slots open up (one is right by my office so would be very handy), but nothing so far - have managed to grab a slot while I'm in SFO early next year as a backup

Surely as it's for accessing the US, this shouldn't be a problem?

A day and a bit for BF to turn around my internal checks. Let's see how long it will take for CBP to do their bit. I am hoping that it will be possible to attend an interview in London before Xmas, but not exactly holding my breath

Well, my trips tend to be booked at very short notice and I'm a bit concerned that there may not be free/convenient slots. But I'll just try, and if it doesn't work out, try next time and so on.

It'd be easier to book something in London well in advance that I'd have a decent chance of making.

Book the one well in advance you know you can make then just keep checking for a better date when you know your plans.

Emailed request to BF in the morning, got an invitation code back after lunch.

Completed GOES form the following day, now just waiting for CBP to confirm all OK then will schedule appointment to coincide with one of my multiple US trip...

...or they will decline me and I will never be allowed back in

More likely to be the former though (99.99% sure anyway !)

But there don't seem to be any London dates offered at present...

A few interview slots seem to have opened up at the US Embassy London...but only for 9 December. Everything else still showing as unavailable.

If for 2 people, is it easy to book two appointments one after the other.

Passed the UK part and cautious of paying for the US part if we might have issues.

That's good to know, thank you. While it would be great, I doubt that the CBP part of the process will come through in time, it gives room to cautious optimism that additional slots will open up in the days that follow.

Does anybody have any experience of the Global Entry lane in DUB? What is the experience like and how does it compare with GE entry at MIA, JFK, PHL, BOS, etc? I've read that the experience isn't as expedited/speedy in DUB.
