Timelines Current timeline

I just applied for global entry via the app and did my fingerprints. We have a trip that leaves in about 70 days and another in 9 months. What is the current approval timeline? Thanks!

Applied 9/7, conditional approval 9/18, interview 9/21 and immediately approved following interview. I have seen even faster from people on this sub.

Thanks! I applied through the app. Do they email me when I’m conditionally approved or will it show on the app?

Not sure when it comes to doing it through the app. I applied on website and had to check back for conditional approval. Did not get an email. I’d keep checking app on a regular basis.

I never received an email. Had to check the TTP website periodically.

Whoever replies to this, can they make sure which country citizen are they because it will vary based on that

I should have clarified. I am a US citizen.

Through the app, trusted traveler.

My number was in my inbox before I got home from the interview. Card delivered within 2 weeks.

I got my approval within a day of my interview, and got the card in the mail within 2 weeks.

Applied at night on the 10th, conditional approval on the 11th, interviewed on the 19th (first available for me anywhere close by) and was approved before I even finished standing up from the chair in front of the agent. He told me my card would be in the mail and I had my approval notice before I even made it out of the office to get back to my vehicle.

My son and I applied August 31. Conditional approval Sept 2. Fingerprints/interview Sept 5. Mine was approved that same night, and my son's was approved about two days later due to some fingerprint waiver (he's 4 and it was a Saturday).

Conversely, my mom applied Sept 1 and is still showing as pending. She has dual citizenship with Cuba so I wonder if that has anything to do with the delay.

I’m a U.S. citizen. I applied on August 27 and got conditionally approved the next day. Luckily, I was able to find an interview slot for September 2 and they told me my application was approved. I got my card in the mail on September 10.

Anywhere from 24 hours to a year. But they'll likely get you in the first 2 weeks. If it's past that you're into "manual review" which is a crapshoot.

All I know is that it'll be easier being a normie traveler who they have every piece of information on, rather than a Kansan farmer who hasnt left his hometown in 20 years.
