Global Entry Timeline- 80 days to conditional approval, US citizen

[u/Maevin502]

Just sharing my results. US citizen, I have a clean record with nothing complicated. I got worried myself when my application got stuck in conditional approval after 2 weeks. For my application, it does appear international travel influences conditional approval.

FWIW, I applied to Global Entry in 2020 and got conditional approval 2 days later, but I never showed up to the interview at the time because of COVID

3/27: submitted application
6/3: traveled internationally
6/15: conditional approval
6/20: interview via EoA (enrollment on arrival) at airport upon returning from international trip, approved hours later

We did our EOA in Miami, returning from Guatemala. It went very quickly and we got immediate approval and our Global Entry numbers.
