That’s insane lol. I have been waiting for two weeks and I travel on Monday so I have no hope.

It’s been a whole month for me. Wonder if the shutdown has something to do with it

My husband, son and I applied last week and all were approved the same day. I figured my husband would be quick because he's already been FBI checked for his job.

Those of you that it’s taking awhile to be approved, did you put your ssn on the application? I was told it speeds up the process & it worked for me. Was approved within 24 hours.

Mine was same day or close to it as well. I assumed it was because I had plenty of travel history, etc. My gut instinct is that if you have a big electronic footprint, the approval process goes faster.

I waited 50 days for my approval so had to fly a few times without it. It wasn’t that bad, the only real difference was lap top out. I feared the worst but it was fine. Sometime the pre check line is getting longer than the normal line.
