Global Entry - Anyone been conditionally approved recently?

[Disney_time]

Thinking that we might have wasted our money (2 x £42 plus 2 x $100 ) We got new passports at the end of October, did new Estas and applied for Global Entry, paying our $100 on 10th December which was 3 weeks before the government shutdown. Now despite the 3 week partial "reopening" our applications are still awaiting approval. We enter the USA from the Caribbean on 7th April and have no plans to visit USA again in 2019. I believe you have to schedule your interview within 6 month of being conditionally approved.

How long did the process take for other dibbers pre-shutdown?

Mine took about 4 weeks DH was longer at 6 weeks

OP. Mine was 2017/18 but I wasn't moving it along very quickly plus Xmas was in the middle.

17th Dec - Applied to H.O.
19th Dec Approved by H.O

Deliberate gap by me

4th Jan Applied to CBP
12th Jan Approved by CBP

Scheduled a Mid March interview

Interviewed on arrival instead 4th March. Approved there and then.

Applied in November, conditional approval came through in January and we did our interviews when we arrived two weeks ago.

I just checked the CBP web site and it states that you have 365 days from conditional approval to book an interview.

Thanks all. I have had a wee look on Flyertalk and folk who applied on 1st of December are starting to get their conditional approval through. Hopefully not long for us, or at least before 7th April.
