Entropy

For the record, I applied in Early December, got conditional approval yesterday, mid March and the first interview appointments for SFO are in mid July. Could be worse, next LAX appointments are in December.

We're returning from Canada in June. I believe that we can do the interview on arrival process then and save a trip.

Time for “conditional approval” can vary significantly for a wide variety of reasons (or, apparently, no reason at all). For example, on an initial application, CBP response could be delayed due to an item on your application requiring additional scrutiny or consideration. Likewise, renewal response times can vary even though nothing of significance has changed over the five year span. I know this for a fact.

I don't know what they could be looking at. I have a Federal Q clearance that is much more extensive.

Still, I keep checking every day.

Ahoy,

My wife and I applied for Global Entry in the beginning of December. She was invited to an interview in just days while I'm still waiting for my review. We're cruising at the end of May so I'm begining to wonder if I'll have the card by then.

What are others experiencing for their wait times?

Ahoy,

To me, travelling is seeing the sights, meeting the people and eating the food.

We're cruising next around the British Isles ( counterclockwise in case you were wondering) visiting England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland. I would like to hear from others what to eat. Not fine dining or the best restaurant type of info but traditional, street food, pub food stereotypical kind of food.

I already have some ideas like fish & chips in London is a cliche' which is definitely on my list.

What are your ideas?

Look at a map of Amsterdam. The city is a series of u-shaped canals. The closer to the center of the canals, the closer you will be to the center of most everything, somewhere between Dam Square and the Centraal station is ideal. Anywhere within the canals is walkable.
There's a tram that goes from the Centraal station South, you can use that to get around.
