In Detroit, they told a couple that arrived while we were being processed that basically if they had time they'd see them early, but if people showed up for their appointments, that the people with the appointments at that time had priority. My guess is they got to the couple early, because my wife and I were there about 30 minutes early, and we left before our scheduled appointment time.

ASAP. You can schedule the interview more than a month out after conditional approval, but there may not be a date available (I was approved on the fifth and the earliest appointment I could get at PHL was July 27th! Did DTW instead since I knew I would be flying in on the day after Memorial Day and could get an earlier appointment there accordingly).

Same here...applied 5/2. Tick tock. Maybe there is an upswing in apps due to anticipated summer travel?

From the moment you get your conditional approval, anybody here have any idea how long it takes to get an interview appointment at SFO? How long after the interview does one get full access Global Entry?

Access to the program is immediate after you have been approved. Most people receive the approval notification and status change on GOES either during or shortly after the interview (several hours, mine took about two hours).

Data points: Applied 5/1, Conditional Approval 5/16; PHL is still booked until the end of July, had better luck at a fairly close location for 6/1.

Still waiting, I am pending review.
Only lived in the US, not int'l travel in the last 5 years, 2 address in 10 years, airline employee
I should be a quick review. I am assuming summer travel is causing a bit of a slow down.

Applied for myself + 2 teens 4/28, conditional approvals 5/12, booked earliest available ORD appts 7/25.
On 5/16 saw one open slot for the next day and took it.
Agent let me bring in the 2 teens and processed all 3 of us, maybe 20 minutes total.
Note: at 11:15 they were not busy, but at noon the waiting room was full.

I received my conditional approval on Wednesday. It took three weeks.
