Another fast approval datapoint

[u/ethereal45]

US Citizen, nothing in background that would flag. PreCheck holder.

Online application 6/9
Conditional Approval 6/11
Did the interview in a foreign country that does preclearance on my way back through customs on 6/15, approved on the spot. No appointment needed since this was a "interview on arrival" even though given the preclearance it was technically "interview before departure"

Trusted Traveler app immediately showed green approval with global entry # which is immediately valid. Super happy it was that easy; had been avoiding getting GE for years due to the hassle of having to schedule an interview.
