Unfortunately, "No appointments are available at this location" for MCI. |
Miami Int'l had plenty of availability only 2 weeks out when I scheduled it in early January. And it's winter everywhere else in the nation. So come visit beautiful Miami and clear out your appt asap.

We tell people to check availability in the early morning, or Friday late evening when the system updates. I have no idea how accurate that 2nd part is, as it may just be a rumor started a while back by our GE team Supervisor.

If any one is interested in getting an interview in Warwick, RI, I will be cancelling two appointments in March which I made for my wife and daughter. We were able to do walk ins there today. I just want to be sure to get the approvals before cancelling.

They were cancelled already, I didn't realize that they just automatically cancel them if you have a walk in interview. But Warwick does walk in interviews after 4 during the week, the officer had mentioned to call after 12 to see if they are doing them. But when I called it only went to voicemail so we just showed up and there was only one person ahead of us. He did stay until 5 and took a couple after us. Good luck

Update: I showed up around 4PM yesterday and was able to get a walk-in interview. That makes it less than a week from application to interview. I'm very pleased with that considering what I've read from others on this forum. |
Was looking for an earlier appointment in Newark for the past few weeks. This morning a whole slew of dates and times opened up for February and March!
I think the proximity to NY caused the opening of appointments in Newark as the NY state residents have lost their ability to use these services. |

Appears so, I will know for certain in 2 weeks, have an appt for my SO on the 18th.
After multiple re-schedulings, I can confirm the Boston GE office was open for our appt on Sunday 2/9. We arrived at 1:45 for a 2:15 appt to an empty office, and they saw us immediately. We didn’t see any attempted walk-ins while there, but may be a worth a shot if one has extra time on their hands. |
Cant schedule a interview into late march?
I signed up for global entry as my precheck expires later this year and figured id take advantage of my CSR card benefits. The problem i am facing now is not knowing global entry interviews were to be done at airport locations. I was thinking they would have local offices like how it went with precheck. Whatever, i travel often for work so figured id try to schedule it on a monday or friday (typical travel days) but i dont see a date until late march and into April. Is this a common issue when applying for Global entry?

You don’t mention a location.
all CE interview locations - both for scheduled and enrolment on arrival - are listed in their separate categories- on the website. Most are at airport but some major cities have locations actually in the city - Chicago and Manhattan -come immediately to my mind though that latter may soon change! note enrolment on arrival is only for those arriving off international flights. the key to getting an interview a lot of regular checking of available appointments as people cancel and more get released. |
Traveler Program Enrollment Centers suspend operations due to COVID-19 outbreak
From the DHS Trusted Traveler Programs website:
Effective March 19, 2020, out of an abundance of caution and in the interest of minimizing exposure and controlling the spread of the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Outbreak, all US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Trusted Traveler Program Enrollment Centers will suspend operations until at least May 1, 2020. This temporary closure includes all public access to Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI, and FAST enrollment locations. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience through this process. |
Please note that according to our resident CBP officer, maninblack, Entry on Arrival is still available.
|
Just for clarification, Entry on Arrival is still available and you can access with just valid BP (including domestic US fly) ? Hope there are one for IAD or SFO which is my next trip.

When I first signed up for GE, I did it at JFK booking the appointment 3 or 4 days in advance when I knew I had a flight through there. MCI wasn't even a choice back then. But now, I figured I'd at least be able to get an interview in the fall... |
