You can check for interview availability (without needing to be logged in) at TTP - Schedule Appointment
This page includes a checkbox you can use to show locations with the soonest availability, although they tend to be few in number and near border towns.
You may also wish to consider:
Note also that a location that has literally zero availability for future interviews today, may pop up with available slots tomorrow (or even later today), presumably as people with scheduled appointments do EOA or walk-in thus freeing up their original time slot. So it may be worth checking back periodically.

You may also wish to consider:
- Enrollment on Arrival, which can be done while clearing immigration during international return to the US: Global Entry Enrollment on Arrival
- Some locations offer walk-in interviews even if you do not have an appointment: Global Entry Walk-In Interviews
- If you will be passing through MIA, their GE office nearly always has immediate availability and is open very late.

My navigation app shows an approximately 200 mile journey from downtown Des Moines to MCI. (I drove 210 miles to ABQ for my interview, so I feel your pain.) But it’s not surprising that there are relatively few CBP officers (they do the interviews) stationed in the middle of the country.
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.

Did you end up canceling those March appointments in RI? I just got CA this morning and the earliest interview I could schedule is at the end of July. :-(

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.

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:

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.

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...
