Have you tried cancellations while Denver enrollment center is open yet? It pays to try repeatedly throughout the day, especially when that office is open. They are open 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday - Friday (Closed Federal Holidays)

I drove from Raleigh to Charlotte. Maybe you could plan a vacation somewhere and do your interview there?

Enrollment on arrival at an applicable port of entry at the applicable time is what I would suggest looking at if booking a convenient appointment time and place doesn’t work out. Routing back to the US with enrollment on arrival in mind is something I’ve seen done. DEN should be a pretty good place for doing enrollment on arrival (from a non-US/non-CBP preclearance airport) since its hours are very good.

Well, since I'm not traveling internationally before wanting the interview, the interview upon arrival was a no-go. I did get on again today, and found a single cancellation in January. After scheduling that, I got on with my wife, and at that time they seem to have released a bunch more interview times. I changed mine to match hers. They're not until March, but at least we were able to get them! Thanks all for the suggestions.

From the Global Entry - processing timelines of initial applications thread:

I scheduled interviews in Houston for February, mainly because February interviews weren’t available in Seattle at the time. I checked today and the Seattle interview schedule had opened up. So, we’re now scheduled in Seattle, just before our flight to Houston. We’re happy about it because the Houston interviews would’ve required a special 2+ hour round trip and now we just need to leave for the Seattle airport a half hour early.

There seems to be a wide range of open interviews slots. Are those real or is it just empty because of the government shutdown?

Anyone try scheduling an interview recently?

There are slots available because everyone's appointments got cancelled due to the ongoing budget shutdown.

They don't even let you update documents let alone enrollment interviews. Even the "on arrival" interview and document update is not available.

Do certain centers not allow an interview to be booked more than 3 months ahead? For example, at Orlando and Tampa there are no appointments available to be booked after the end of May 2019. I’ve looked everywhere online and can’t find information about this.

Centers usually publish availability three months in advance. If you are looking for something beyond current availability, just wait until end of this month or beginning of April. Most people seek soonest availability. If this is your initial Global Entry application and your birthday is coming up soon, schedule your interview a day after your birthday. You shall receive a bonus of 364 days.

Thank you very much for your response - I really appreciate it. Our aim at the moment is to complete Enrollment on Arrival when we arrive in Atlanta (we are UK citizens) but our flight arrives at 20:10 and apparently EoA only goes until 21:00. We are going to be in the USA for a month on vacation so will also have an interview scheduled as a backup in case we can’t complete EoA at Atlanta. Fingers crossed our conditional approval comes through in time - we travel at the end of July.
