The interview is in person as they must verify who you are, verify your travel documents and scan your fingerprints into the system
According to this page https://global-entry.beta.homeoffice...ister-to-apply the interview has to take place at a GE enrollment site in the US or Qatar or Canada which seems odd. Maybe they have changed things and not updated the information site?

Almost all are in the US. The Canadian ones are really NEXUS offices, but NEXUS includes Global Entry so NEXUS offices are capable of doing GE interviews. I cannot speak for the Qatari office(s).

As well, US CBP has just advised Global Entry members that they may be able to register for the UK's Registered Traveler program. Let's share this with the broader travel community as this is not airline dependent. I'll move to the dedicated TS&S forum. Ocn Vw 1K, Moderator, United.

The big news is that:
Thread title has been updated.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection will open a Global Entry enrollment center at the U.S. Embassy in London for 60 days beginning on September 26. Conditionally-approved Global Entry applicants can now register for an interview with a CBP officer at the London location on the Global Online Enrollment System (GOES) website.

Can anyone advise if the US Embassy in London is still accepting appointments for Global Entry? I can see they were up to March 2017, but cannot see if this has been extended or there is a proposal to open up another batch of interview slots.

I don't think that the London embassy does the interviews any more. The GE programme seems to be now focusing its resources on expanding to more countries -- Switzerland and Argentina joined in the past few months -- so making it more convenient in existing locations is probably not at the top of the "to do" list.

That is great as I need to renew! I just clicked the renew button and seems they want us to get a UK access code by getting clearance from the UK govt first. Is this new for UK renewals as I don't recall reading this was required before (but makes sense i suppoose).

Just so forum users have an idea of timescales for the interviews at the US Embassy in London.
I received my Global Entry CBP 'conditional approval' yesterday and immediately booked for my interview/enrollment at the US Embassy in London. The earliest date available for interview was Tuesday 13th of March 2018. However some dates after this date were already booked up. Overall though, there seemed plenty of availability upto the 3rd of May when the 'enrollment event' in London ends.

Global Entry Interviews in London
I booked my GE interview at the temporary US Embassy in London a few weeks back, and was surprised when a couple of friends suggested I was making it up, believing you had to be interviewed in the US. However the CBP have confirmed today officially, what I found out by accident, that they are open for business, at least between March and May 2018.
