FYI, a bunch of Zoom interviews popped up for today, 7th.
fixed typo.

Just did mine over zoom, took maybe around 4 mins in total. Offered to discuss the benefits of global entry but i declined as i was renewing.
Showed Passport picture page on the webcam and associated documents. Verified the numbers as well to see if they tally with that already in the database.
Just received the approval email

For those in NY/NJ/CT area that don't want to wait until July for an interview....... try the Champlain Border office. OK a bit of a drive, but they have lots of slots.

There was a lot of availability in late May/June when I checked on Sunday but it filled up fast

Some same-day Zoom interviews available now.

Global Entry Initial Interview
 

Looking for tips on getting the initial interview for my daughter.

I have had GE for years and the new system is swamped - can't find any interview nearby for months - most places are saying
"No appointments available at this location" or are 2023 dates.

She is close to ATL and MEM (and will be in SLC this summer) so those would be best (I did mine offsite at ATL).

Have been checking Soonest Available at all hours but nothing local or nearby...

Any ideas???
Thanks, FH

Any international travel? She could try to do the enrollment on arrival thing

How frequently have you checked and for how long? It is best to refresh every few minutes daily, especially during office hours of your desired enrollment center/s. In less than two weeks, you should be able to find something acceptable.

Alternatively, find someone to build you a bod similar to: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/show...ferrerid=22732

Is anyone finding availability in DC? First time applicant to GE

Its normal for it to be that crazy backed up. If you can’t do interview on arrival, it can take both expanding search parameters and more then a bit of luck to get an interview in a timely manner. The only reason why I found an interview in about 3-4 months is because apparently not many other people think of Mobile, Alabama as a place to do a GE interview.

SeaTac now showing "None available" for live interviews. Quite the change from a few weeks ago, when even the summer was open.

Has anyone used and willing to recommend any of the services that scan for open slots and notify for a monthly fee?

Wait, so I have been conditionally approved, but there are no appointments anywhere [even in Singapore which usually will show some appointments a few months out]. Does that mean the only option for me is to do an interview on arrival?

On the good side they're processing applications quickly. I applied for my kids on Saturday and all were conditionally approved before Monday morning.

On the bad side, there are no interview appointments available anywhere we can get to before our next international trip in February. The first appointments available within reasonable driving distance are in March. I guess I'll hold the March appointments and hope our layover in Miami in February is long enough to do enrollment on arrival? This sucks.

If you are in/near NYC just drive to JFK on a Saturday. I've done it and it was fairly painless.
