Kids (even renewals) are basically treated like new applications every time so we'll see how long it takes. And got it back in the mail today. So less than seven weeks. Also they've updated the site saying they're not offering Expedited Service again for extra cost...not that any of us can go anywhere! 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coralc Posted November 7, 2020 #227 Share Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) On 4/3/2020 at 6:16 PM, Coralc said: We submitted renewals for Global Entry in Jan. and Feb. respectively and paid the $100. Both renewal applications still say "pending review". Update: Last Saturday (10/31) I received an email that the status of my Global Entry renewal application had changed. And it was approved. I received the new GE card this week. Hopefully, DH's will be approved and arrive soon. So 10 months....that's not bad with everything that is going on.

Cruise a holic Posted November 7, 2020 #228 Share Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) We ordered our renewed passports about three months ago. Just got notification that they are on their way! Expect today or by monday. We did all by mail and had the picture taken at the drug store. But who knows when we will sail again!

I know our granddaughter's renewal came through months ago and needs an interview, actually it's probably because age and that the end new photo, she's 7. My son had said there was nothing open in the LA area so they hadn't done it. Not sure current status. When we did our last year no interview for renewal needed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the time it may take, looks like I’ll renew Pre-check, since that can be done online. Maybe GE in 2026!!!!, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interview, photo, and fingerprints are in person after approval. Problem is that many of those offices are closed. Not all renewals need in person appointment.

Your wife status does not instill confidence in a quick resolution. But they did extend the expiration of our GE 9 extra months so that’s nice. He regularly travels from Chicago to New York/PA/CA for work. I have traveled more overseas than him in the last few years. I wonder how they decide who gets immediate approval and who has to wait? I suppose it’s not a big deal because sadly we have no plans to travel any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
