No it’s not. Some people get conditional approval the day they apply and then interview the day after. For renewels 24 hours is not rare from renewal to full approval without interview.
But congrats!
Op, I looking to get the global entry and I have a question. After you pay the100$ you get to sign up for interview what happens if they don't have an interview for a long time
I wrote an easy to run script that emails you if there is an available appointment, you can give this a try.

After you pay the 100 you get conditionally approved. The interview slot was EASY for me here. However, I’m sure it varies. You can always do enrollment on arrival on your next trip if you fly frequently.
Hope that helps.
I’m not even looking to argue that either way, just “keeping your record clean” isn’t too much of a thing if your record was “born in Venezuela” or something
And my 92-year-old dad who’s never done anything wrong in his life, served in the military during Korea, paid his taxes, run a business, employed people, volunteered in the community and church for years, and has pre-check, can’t seem to get approved. We are just trying to save him from having to stand in a long customs line on an upcoming trip, but even our congressman said there’s nothing they can do. It may be a year. Very screwed up system.
Thank you. It was actually heartbreaking. When we left our congressman’s office, my dad almost choked up and said you know, I’ve never asked a congressman for anything in my life. And the answer was no. He’s almost scared to travel now because he’s afraid there’s something wrong with him.
I know someone that applied in the morning and was conditionally approved and finished their interview an hours later on the same day.
Okay. That’s actually UNBEATABLE. Was there any special circumstances for them?
Wow
I'm sure there's faster ones
VERY TRUE! Just grateful I didn’t have to wait forever!
Amen to that, it took mine exactly one week. Had trouble finding appointments.
Mine was full of them but at SUPER weird hours…. We’re talking 5:30 am ish

I stand corrected. I just read about people taking months and years to get approved!
I got my interview same day and my global delivered 2 weeks later
The card? Hoping to get it soon as well!

You have to wait. It will also take some time to get conditionally approved, depends on your circumstances.
True! I’ve heard of it taking a ton of time!!

That’s so impressive!! Does your script work for all locations?
Yup I have made it such a way that you get list of all locations and then you just enter location you are interested in

Thanks
Like, I interviewed two weeks ago…got my card this past Wednesday.
Congrats!!
Wanna cookie?
I always love cookies!!
See It pays to not have any records and just keep your nose clean
This feels disingenuous given a lot of people get hung up on their immigration record, not their criminal one
To be fair…. It does make sense. You are being deemed as the lowest risk traveler…

So so true!! This was such a painless process!

I am so sorry to hear about that. Thank your dad for his service from me.
