Portland OR with TONS of new availability
 

Just this evening (as in 10 minutes ago, 11pm Sunday night) Portland OR just opened tons of new availability for appointments in November and December. They were previously booked out until next June, so this is great news for the pacific northwest. Just rescheduled my husband's apt to next week instead of the end of may. :)

FYI when I was there for my interview two weeks ago the officer said they only have one staff member interviewing and only a few hours a day. Looks like they finally added more staff and posted more times (he said this was likely coming).

:D

IAH outside security has interview available almost for all November and December.
I got approved today and was able scheduled the interview for tomorrow.
I glanced over at the IAH location inside security where Boarding pass is required, they have some open spots for November and December.

Yeah they cancelled all the weekend appointments saying it was a computer mistake as they don't open on weekends. But Long Beach is better and closer. So it all worked out... unless they cancel... haha....

I just got back from my appintment at IAH Terminal E and received approval email 30 mins afterwards.

Overall excellent and very pleasant experience at IAH Terminal E. They will roll call in groups of 4 and they explain to the group how the Machine works and then proceed to the interview. They have about 4-5 officers interviewing and interview only lasts about 5-10 minutes at most.
They have the most availability for appointments since most places are fully booked.
PS
You might get lucky by trying to do an "early" walk in with prior appointment.

MIA Interview
 

We live in Tampa. After getting conditional approval I checked wait times for TPA and the appointments were months away.

Decided to connect in MIA enroute to SXM to do our global entry interview. Lots of open appointments.

Walked over to their office which was a little hard to locate. Small door on left side across from Lufthansa, Terminal J.

We were the only two there and went to different agents. Just a few basic questions and approved.

I asked when I'd get email approval. They hit buttons and said you are good.

Used GE enroute back to US (CLT). FABULOUS...There was a very long line which we just bypassed. Followed instructions on the machine, showed it to person there and we were done. Since we had no carry-ons there was no need to wait for luggage.

Just gave our slip to another person and that was it.

Thanks to everyone who helped me figure out how to do this interview, etc.

PS They did give us a form to fill out for customs on the plane, but since these questions were on the GE machine, they weren't needed.

I usually fill out the paper customs form - just in case. Occasionally, the GE machines aren't working, and a customs form is required. Easier to fill one out and not need it, than scramble to fill one out in a customs hall filled with 200+ others in the same boat.

I had no idea these appointments were so hard to get. I received my conditional approval today and the first open date for interview is in May! Since I have nothing better to due i may just show up on Christmas (one would think this would be a day with openings) and see if I can be seen as a walk in at the Nashville location.

Up date to my post above. As others have mentioned doing be sure to check back for interview times several times during hours they are open to find an eariler appointment time. I did and it worked. I now have my interview in 2 weeks instead of May :)

Does anyone know the current wait for a Global Entry interview at CLT?
 

Trying to decide between getting TSA Precheck or Global Entry. I would prefer Global Entry but I heard there can be a wait of months, and I would like to use the TSA Precheck part a few times in the next few months. I also do not travel internationally much, so if the wait is over 4 months, I might just get the precheck.

I am a little annoyed you have to pay the fee to see the interview availability.

Any idea for DFW airport appt availability - submitted my application on yesterday, waiting for pre-approval now. I'd prefer weekend rather than weekday. But I guess most weekends would be booked.

Seeing 7 Feb for DFW currently. Your lucky. This nothing for a wait. :p

Thanks for update.

Is there a way to view interview times while waiting for my conditional approval? I know I can't schedule anything until then, just curious to see what kind of waits I'm facing.

San Francisco
 

Got approval for my infant today and the first available appontment is in July which is two months after scheduled travel in May.

Is there any way to expedite an appointment or is there any other options in Bay Area?

Can I just walk-in?

Mind checking to see what kind of wait I'm in for at STL?
