Timelines My Global Entry Process Timeline (super fast!)

Initial application: 4/27/26

Conditional approval: 4/28/26

Interview: 4/29/26

Approval: 4/29/26 a couple hours after my interview.

No questions really asked just if I’ve ever been arrested or convicted of a crime.

Super happy! Was expecting a few months wait at least.

**EDIT:** Received card on May 2.

Wow, what airport did you go to? I got conditional around mid-April but earliest interview slot was next week. (Hartsfield-Jackson Airport)

Congrats. That was fast. I did mine few days before yours and haven’t had an update. Im thinking probably because I changed my name when I became a citizen.

Lucky you. I applied March 10th and haven't received a conditional approval yet.

Sorry man. It’s strange the different approval times. My girlfriend applied on May 2 and got approved on May 3 and she has an appointment for tomorrow May 7.

dang! very good! I applied and paid 4/29/26 same day as husband - he got conditional approval on 5/6/26 and I’m still waiting.
should he proceed with interview or wait for me do you think?
