First he couldn't get an appointment at the times he was already scheduled to go to Canada. Then he couldn't get a reasonably priced flight at the time an appointment was available.
At this point, I'm encouraging him to book a cheap trip to SEA to interview there but they are only open M-F and he can't take off from work. YVR is open on weekends but the fares there have gone insane. So, five months after being conditionally approved he's still scheduling and re-scheduling his interview, all to save $50 vs just applying for Global Entry (or to save $100 if he was going to get both eventually). |

Yeah. It can take a week or two.

It's been a week for me so far.
I think it took 10 days for me to get approved. I don't remember anymore, but I'm sure it's archived somewhere in this thread if you look at my post dates. :) |

Well, why not just claim a flight award to fly up to YYZ? That's what I did, because fares on NYC-YYZ are ridiculously expensive. But for 25,000 RDMs, some taxes, and the $50 enrollment fee, I got my NEXUS membership, and free GE membership. And trust me, the membership pays for itself the first few times you come into ORD in the afternoon and the arrivals hall is packed to the gills! |

Just logged into my GOES account. Still pending review after 10 days.
Does GOES use up a visa page in your passport? I need to know as I am getting close to ordering new pages. |

I applied on February 9 and got an email today with preliminary approval and a request to schedule an interview.

You get a small sticker (1/2"x3/4") on the inside back cover of your passport.

Or the outside, back cover, as is the case with my passport ;)

Applied on 2/10, approval came today.
2 questions: The GOES website says to bring a copy of your "Conditional Approval Notification." On the GOES message inbox page, there is just one line stating, "Your application for the Global Entry Program has been approved." Is this the page I print out and bring to the interview? The earliest back to back appointments available (doing the family thing) were for 3/8 and we're flying internationally on 3/13. Will we be immediately approved at the interview and in the system? Thanks. |

Post interview approval is pretty much immediate ... they didn't look at any documentation other the id's requested when I did my interview. Print the email and that is likely sufficient
