I have not heard that any Global Entry Enrollment Center in California has closed due to the current state COVID restrictions, however, you may wish to call that office just to be sure. 650-877-4006 (6:00 am - 12:00 am, seven days a week).

Thanks for the phone number. I called but just got a recorded message with the hours and the need for an appointment so hopefully hat means they are still open

They're still operating normal hours, I just went.

Edit: Nevermind. Office is open and there are appointments available over the holidays [@SFO]. The website to apply is funky and I need to apply first and get conditional approval (which may take a while) before I can schedule an appointment.

I'll have to decide if I should just forget it and renew PreCheck only as I rarely fly international (and only with kids in tow who won't have GE).

Boston apparently just opened up all of February for scheduling so if you're needing an appointment it's wide open.

we actually got all of ours done in ATL airport, ironically, in 2020. My son's was a breeze; my daughter's interview was cancelled twice, but we rescheduled and got it done (before expiration, in fact).
I give FlyerTalk a *TON* of credit for (1) guidance, and (2) keeping me mentally stable.
You just have to keep checking around the beginning of the month (possibly also half-month/15th, but I didn't see openings then).

Got Conditional Approval just now and made an appointment for later tonight [@SFO]. Hope everything goes smooth. DW can't remember what happened at her interview.

BOS shows no appointments available

IAD show middle of May 2021 available....RIC is still closed.

Is PHL still shut down by Covid?

FYI, selected centers (read-WW-west) had multiple next-day appointment slots available: I was able to calculate my arrival time and pick a time slot, being interviewed 2 days ago & within 1-2 hours : GE approval :D .

=> Do not get hang up on "walk-in approval" , consider -next day- and you get thru it .

Good luck , EV-

What does this mean?

My conditional approval (1st time renewal) finally came through overnight but for some reason I have to go interview now. Ugh.

I was trying to check for appointments on my phone and it was only showing me a few enrollment centers and none of them were at airports. Not sure what’s going on. I’ll try later on a PC browser.

Be sure and do NOT check the "Soonest available appt" box - that doesn't seem to work very well. Instead, pick a date from the calendar. When I select 3/1/2021, I see several airport locations across the country.

I can not comment on your -why- but what I am telling you: certain airports, I can see there is - nextday- slot available to schedule and pick from .

EV-

Phl global entry
 

PHL has opened for Global entry interviews this week. I was CA in Nov 2020. I had my interview today and am approved. It took 1 year and 4 months from start to finish.
