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"?

Thanks, good to know! Other than the interview, the rest of the process so far has been surprisingly fast. I renewed mine in a matter of days and my kids have gotten prelim approval fast. Hopefully I can find an interview for them soon.

Thanks SFO No longer Accepting Interviews
The SFO office is no longer accepting interviews as per their office.
The closest offices to me are Portland and San Diego both 10+ hours drive. I'm doing a whole bunch of *domestic* trips in the next few weeks which go through airports with enrollment on entry. Could I somehow get an interview with them?

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.

Thanks. I did look at these before, but I couldn't find an answer to my specific questions:
"Can I somehow do entry on arrival if I have a domestic flight to that airport?"

Enrollment on Arrival can only be done while going through passport controls upon entering the US from abroad. The EoA process is extensively discussed in the Global Entry Enrollment on Arrival thread. |
"The SFO office is no longer accepting interviews as per their office."
What does that mean? Are they closing their office temporarily? Does that mean any current appointments will be okay? My sister has an appointment in about a week. I just got CA and went to try to get an appointment at SFO and got no availability. I am hoping to go with my sister and see if they will be willing to process my application too. |

I'd also like to know what's going on with the SFO office. I recently applied for renewal for my family of 4, and my wife and son were fully approved while my daughter and I need interviews. Her conditional approval came thru earlier and I was able to schedule an interview for her at SFO in early Jan 2020. But now for me all I see is "no appointments available for this location". Thought about trying walk-in but according to Yelp the SFO office doesn't accept walk-ins anymore. This will be very frustrating if the SFO office has really stopped all interviews.

SFO is booked more than a year in advance, unless you luck into a cancellation. Otherwise you can try your hand at Interview on Arrival between 7am-3pm.

All of the GE facilities in Ohio as well as the one that would be quasi-practical to get to in PA and MI are showing no interviews available -- not "an interview a freaking long time in the future" but none available, period. I think I found one facility on one of the coasts that had an opening in April of 2020 or so -- but would like to get this done before then just so I don't have to worry about it.
I know in the past some facilities accepted walk-in for initial applications... is that (still) the case for renewals? Any list of facilities that do walk-ins? Hoping I can go camp out at CBP in Middleburg Heights (I have vacation time to burn before EOY anyway ;) ) and/or give it a whirl at EWR when I'm passing through tomorrow and Thursday. Another option is enrollment on arrival which can be done for renewals as well: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trus...t-arrival.html Also locations showing no current availability may sometimes have time slots open up (perhaps as people with appointments walk in or do EOA) so even though there's nothing today, there might be something tomorrow. My strategy was a multi-layered approach: 1. Schedule something, anything, far off in a location I knew I would be near or could reasonably get to 2. Check back periodically to optimize (1) for something sooner 3. Plan to EOA on the return of an upcoming international trip 4. Arrived early to my next domestic trip and tried to do a walk in (and was successful) |
New GE traveler - ZERO appointments at SFO?
I applied for Global Entry for the first time, and got an email confirmation for my conditional approval--but when I go to the TTP website it's showing that NO interviews are available for SFO to complete the process. I'm hoping this is just a computer issue--and I plan on checking back within the next few days--but I just wanted to make sure that I'm not missing something and/or doing something wrong. Appointments do show up for other CA locations....but I'm not keen on the idea of going to L.A. just for my interview!
