It took about two weeks for my conditional approval when I applied back in July. I just did my interview and got my full approval on the 17th of September.

I've just been conditionally approved for Global Entry, but the first available appointment isn't until 3 days AFTER I travel. Could someone tell me how to go about getting an earlier appointment or a cancellation please? Their site isn't very user friendly.

When I was at BWI this weekend, I think one of the people there didn't have an appointment for that day.

Mrs. B wondered why I dragged her 100+ miles to Otay Mesa for available interview spots but now says it was well worth the effort after having experienced both TSA Pre-check and used the GE kiosks.

Very interesting...trust me I am never one to play the race card however being a single male (I am engaged but they still see this as single), brown (indian), mid-20s age, having a beard, it is never easy at the airports. I want to ideally believe that visual judgement based on race does not happen but when I am selected for "random" screening 9/10 times its kind of hard not to believe that. I am hoping Global Entry will alleviate this problem and it was one of the main reasons for applying.
**UPDATE**
I received notice of Final Approval on 9/24/15 at 6PM.

im in the same boat as waiting to get the final approval. Interview was 24th of September and still waiting for final approval for the wife. I got instant approval and we are both american citizens. Really weird. We will get back from traveling at the end of October so hopefully she gets final approval before we get back.

Won't do you much good....maybe....if she doesn't get approved before you leave. The reason I say "maybe" is that the CBP agent who interviewed me said that the PassID/KTN was good to use immediately but that I would have to finish the process when I got the actual card to activate the GE portion. Now others have been told something different so again that's why the "maybe".

Initially applied: 9/10/15
conditionally approved: 9/21/15
interview in BOS and final approval: 9/30/15
got the approval email while I was walking to my terminal for my departing flight. Had an agent add my brand new KTN to my reservation but didn't get precheck. Probably still too fresh in the system. I'll see if I get it on the flight home tomorrow (10/1/15).

Interview at LAX and final approval: 10/01/15
The interviewer was very nice, just wanted to confirm my birthday and address. Took my prints and photo and I was out of the office in less than 5 mins. The e-mail notification for approval came about 20 mins after leaving.

Just throwing it out there: all US Green Card holders should have the option of automatically receiving GE (for a fee) at the time they get their permanent resident status. That is all.
