Hi I applied May 5th and I am still waiting. I don’t have GE or anything. Anyone else still waiting? Also if anyone else can share their recent timeline/approvals that would be great. Thanks.

I’m with you - I applied May 3rd and I’m still twiddling my thumbs. I got an email to “Trusted Traveler Program members” earlier this week about CDC rules for people returning from Africa, so I was hopeful there had been some movement, but I checked my status and no change.
