thanks!
There are interview centers on the U.S. side of the border, though maybe you already know that. Perhaps find an excuse for a trip to Seattle, or such. Not sure the interview availability is any better however.

Could be worth your time. Just because tehy don't have any slots available doesn't mean there is a revolving door of GE interviewees at the CBP office.

Good luck.
A quick question - I don't need to carry my GE card when returning home through SFO, right? Thanks.

Thanks.
Thanks.
Can anyone tell us how the link works? Is it a prepopulated form?

I am sure this question was answered in here, but how long does the Global Entry meeting take? If I do in Denver I have to wait until Mid-April to get my meeting, but if I schedule in IAD or IAH I can do it in early January.
Also will I have to do a meeting with CPB for Pre-Check as well?
Thank you
Edited for Hans: The CBP office is at DIA is on the North End of the Main Concourse where the International Arrivals come out of. There is a metal door to the right of the exit and a phone there, pick up the phone and they buzz you in.

Certainly under the "old" system of sending in a receipt, there was no easy way for United to verify whether the payment was for you or someone else's GE application so long as the payment was made to your credit card.

No extra meeting for Pre although you need to get your number issued, enter it into .bomb and at some random point months in the future you may get the three beeps (still hasn't happened to me).
