It will take time. Mine took one year to get conditional approval. But it won’t take that long now but probably 6 month maybe. There is nothing we can do to expedite it.

Just take passport. Some Global Entry officers are not fully familiar and I had hard time in one of the airport. So i went to JFK and my interview completed in 2 mins. 

Thnx basu.. my GEP interview done today it was quick n breeze.. basic questions like DOB, Address, place of birth, any visit to canada or mexico, any arrest record, employer name ..thats all ... then 10 finger print scan... then she gave TSA pre number and told about GEP card that arrives in 2 weeks that i can use in Nexus lanes when i come back from canada similarly from mexico..for by road..

@Bestguy dude it all depends...for some people it's taking 6 months some people 12 months.. nothing guranteed from India. Government..my police verification complete on April 9th..I got GEP approval yesterday night..almost about 8months..hang tight u r approval should be just around corner..

 

If u follow flyer talk forum u will get an idea how inconsistent this whole process itself is..

Not really. They just do verification & submit. It took me one year to get approval but i’m asking now for my friend who applied in Nov 2018 to know current approval trend. Few people received before one year as well. Process improve ayyindhi emo ani adiga. 

"Dear Global Entry Applicant,

In lieu of scheduling an appointment at a Global Entry Enrollment Center, you have the unique opportunity to interview for Global Entry when you return from your next international trip at one of several international airports in the United States and Canada. Enrollment on Arrival is ONLY available if you are arriving from an international trip and will be completed during the arrival process."

Took me a year for me brother so you don't need another trip. If you get conditional approval any airport which can process Global Entry can be your interview location. What I'm noticed is that if you are from rural village from India like me the background takes long time. This is just my guess.
