Still waiting for wife's conditional approval

Applied for GE for my wife and I on April 18th, 2018.

I was conditionally approved within days, but my wife still hasn't gotten her conditional approval.

I know it's silly, but I'm a little nervous. I wish there was a way to contact them to ask the status.

I know the way you feel. I am nervous too. But all we can do is wait for them to tell us we are approved of denied.

An appointment is required.

Joining on the posting in hopes of an approval soon with FT mojo
Just found out I was conditionally approved: 5/4
I didn't receive any notification email so I don't know exactly when I was conditionally approved.

I hope that I get the Global Entry before I leave on the 12th.
I'm still waiting for the conditional approval. One week left before my international flight.
Hope that the FT magic works.

Took son (18-yr old) to EWR to for the interview. Took fingerprints and answered a few questions. Then received email in 1.5 hours with update. Login the website and saw that the Global Entry is approved. Surprise this is fast. Maybe this is just for junior person?

I have heard nada and get only the "pending review" message when I log in. 16 days and counting, and in the middle of a lot of domestic trips the rest of the month.
Coincidence, correlation or causation? I posted last week that my renewal application was awaiting conditional approval after 16 days. (And please excuse the typos in that post - I was a bit jet lagged.) This morning I received an email from cbp.dhs.gov that the status of my application had changed. It was approved without my needing to come in for an interview. I suspected my status had changed because I was given TSA-Pre status for my flight yesterday.

Thank you, Flyertalk members on this thread who posted about this!

Longtime FT lurker. Trying for some FT mojo. Applied for GE 4/22. Still pending as of 5/7.

Hopefully this does the trick.
