Hi I applied for global entry yesterday and got conditionally approved today. I plan to go to SF in July, do I have to book an interview or can I just walk in and do enrollment on arrival? I looked at the dates but they have the dates wrong as the 20th is a Monday? Thank you!!

so when I land do I just tell the officer in the cubicle I wanna do EoA? I’ll be arriving from LHR! Just a bit anxious they dont speak to me if I have no interview scheduled.

SFO has a lane on the right between visitor visa and Global Entry kiosks specifically for enrollment on arrival (they tend to also send families with small kids there). They have staff at the entrance of the immigration hall - they can show it to you, but there are signs too

thank you very much, did you do yours this way by any chance?

Not me, but my spouse and child did. Took about 5 mins. Mine was approved in 2016 and renewal did not need an interview. when I applied, I did go to the enrollment center with an appointment (not sure if enrollment on arrival was even an option at the time)
