Thank you! No, not missing a concern, it just seemed too easy that I was worried I was missing something!

I checked for appointment times all the way through February and the only ones available in Caifornia are in Calexico near the Mexican border. Guess we will do a road trip. Less than 2 hours so not that bad.

FYI - For anyone living in Southern California, there are lots of openings in Calexico if it works for you. I made 2 appointments in December. For some reason there is no calendar there for November.
Good luck everyone.

BOS Logan airport has ZERO availability. Nothing at ALL regardless of when you look. It always returns 'no appointments available'.

What kind of pos garbage program is this? They take your money, make you wait 4+ months for conditional approval, and then you can't get an interview.

We had been 149 days in the long wait GE renewal process when we received our conditional approves last week. We were getting ready for work but I went ahead and checked available interview slots at our closest GE office which is San Antonio International Airport (SAT) a mere nine miles from our house. When trying to pull up the SAT appointment calendar the system immediately showed no appointments available at SAT, in fact didn’t even show me the calendar, and pointed me to the “closest” offices with available slots. One of those was Laredo, about a two hour drive from our house, so I discussed a road trip with the wife and what would be the best day or days for her. She checked her work calendar and gave me a couple dates. Logged in to look at the Laredo calendar and amazingly the SAT appointment calendar appeared with literally days and days of open appointments. This over a matter of two hours where no appointments were available to there were plenty. I can only think that it was a computer glitch or since SAT is not a 24/7 operation somebody had come to work that morning in the CBP office and turned on a computer that had their appointment calendar on it. I stayed with one of our agreed upon dates and scheduled two back-to-back lunch time appointments and we’ll turn it into a nice lunch date. Point is keep checking.

Hi,

I must have missed something. I applied on 10/28 and conditionally aproved today (11/01). Went to schedule an interview on the website and it says the only Trusted Traveler Enrollment Center in all of CA is in San Diego.

Can I just get it done in SFO or SMF? They allow applications on entry from international travel.


Thanks.

There are five enrollment centers in California including SFO. I assume you tried to check and book an interview and all the system came back with was the San Diego-Otay Mesa office. Hard to say exactly what that means but the easy answer was none of the other offices had any interview slots available. I live in San Antonio, Texas and my first try came back with a list of other offices in Texas that had appointments but nothing at SAT. Two hours later after deciding to take a road trip to an office about 150 miles away I logged back in and all of a sudden SAT was visible and had plenty of slots available. Beats me why other than maybe SAT hadn’t updated it’s calendar database that morning or it was offline fir some reason. Keep trying.

I looked out as far as 2020 November and only San Diego came up in CA.

Your right there are five, but isn't the one at SFO (and at all airports) *only* for incoming international passengers?

How do you book the ones at airports if you can book them. I'm using the portal https://ttp.dhs.gov/schedulerui/sche...nal&service=UP

You’re on the right page. Go down and pick San Francisco and the calendar should come up for that location if there are any open days. If there are then you just clicked on the date and available appointment times will come up. As far as I know SFO is a regular office not just for incoming International passengers. Somebody local will have to verify that as I am in Texas. Again try a number of times a day. Things change quickly and frequently.

Does anyone know why the Seattle location is not accepting interviews at all!!? Both of my kids have been conditionally approved but I cannot find ANY interviews except for in far away locations. Should I keep checking, or is Seattle "closed"?
