Received conditional approval today after applying on 3/5. They're having me come in for the interview so I've got that scheduled for April 7th.

So, going to renew after 5 years and on the very first page it says "An interview is required". This seems to differ from what I have been reading about conditional approval or approval without an interview. Is this a blanket requirement, poor wording, or something specific to me (even though I've entered no information)?

I had no problem at the GE kiosk yesterday, even though my expiration time had passed, according to the messages I was getting at previous kiosk visits. So it was just a glitch.
I thought I'd update this in case anyone else gets this message at the GE kiosk.

Even if you're required to get an interview to renew (as both I and Mrs. Lee were for whatever reason), the renewal interview was even faster than the initial one.
I think I spent more time waiting for someone to back out of the parking space I wanted (it was right up front and I'm lazy) than I did in the actual CBP office.

Do they send any email notice, either when you apply for renewal or to tell you if you are approved or need an interview?

I just filled out the renewal form online and there is Hong Kong listed, what are you talking about ? Was it 3 months ago Hong Kong wasn‘t listed ?

Altogether it's a pretty straightforward and easy process as far as online applications go.

Applied for renewal on Mar 18. Since original enrollment, had two moves including one to Germany for 2yr expat assignment. As days dragged on I was starting to assume I;d eventually receive conditional approval and have to go in for interview. Finally, today received notification of approval. So good to go. Presume the delay was waiting for Germany to verify no issues while living there. Though I live in Northeast US area now, approval letter came from Phoenix airport where I originally applied.
Applied: Mar 18th
Approved: Apr 5th
Interview: none required
