Curious if anyone has renewed in past couple years in either of these programs. My NEXUS renewal has been pending for weeks now.
The interview takes a long time or getting the interview take a really long time? The latter had always been true. I’m actually scheduling my appointment 6 months prior to mine expiring in an attempt to expedite the process. Global Entry.I get it being slow but there isn't any communication and if I have to do the interview thing again that takes a really long time.
Getting the interview has been crazy in my experience and that was Pre-Covid - like 9 month wait unless you drove to the border which I did. Even that took months. The interview I don't even remember so I think it was short.The interview takes a long time or getting the interview take a really long time? The latter had always been true.

Jesus. Like it still says "Pending Review" in your accound?Renewed Global Entry in August. Still waiting to hear back.
If I get more info on this 5 year grace period if you are in the review process I will post in here. That would be a a good deal since they are so backed up.Wow. That’s pretty bad. Mine expires next April. Maybe I should just do Pre-Check instead only if it’s faster.

They will not, at least in any bigger airports. Now if you are returning from an international flight you can, but that's in the secure area of CBP.Just go to an airport and wait for a GE appointment. They say don't do that but if you sit there and beg they will eventually let you in and process it.
Same boat here. I thought a few weeks was a long wait.Jesus. Like it still says "Pending Review" in your accound?Renewed Global Entry in August. Still waiting to hear back.
Correct, brown "Pending Review" banner under "Applications in Progress".
They took the payment without delay, natch.
So you can renew online in your account and that was pretty easy, they just have to determine if you need to interview again or just send you a new card.Man that sucks, wish they had an app for renewals like they do for initial appointments. That was super easy to get one.
Hopefully they have it all worked out in 5 years when I need to renew.So you can renew online in your account and that was pretty easy, they just have to determine if you need to interview again or just send you a new card.Man that sucks, wish they had an app for renewals like they do for initial appointments.

This review is taking ages for everyone apparently.
Confirmed. AmEx platinum for one. Let me know if anyone needs a referrali did mine last year and had no interview process, took about 6 weeks to renew. if you have a credit card or 2 check the card benefits. one of my cards gives me 100% credit if i use it to renew, making it free. several have this benny.

Do you have an account you created on this site Link where you can see your status?i think i renewed during COVID and it's just been like provisionally approved for forever now.
I love this card so much. I know for most the benefits don't make sense, but i use the heck out of it.AmEx platinum
Almost identical experience, except we drove to Milwaukee (from north suburbs of Chicago).We renewed Global Entry about 18 months ago. Due to still Covid restrictions had to make the reservation for appt several months out and went to San Antonio airport (about 90 min from Austin). Interview went quick and received "final approval" within a couple weeks.
I easily double+ the annual fee in benefits/offers...I love this card so much. I know for most the benefits don't make sense, but i use the heck out of it.AmEx platinum

Gotcha. They haven't sent a new ID to you though?Do you have an account you created on this site Link where you can see your status?i think i renewed during COVID and it's just been like provisionally approved for forever now.
Yep. I've been "Conditionally Approved" since I renewed sometime in 2020 (ahead of a 2021 expiration).

I am hoping to not do the interview and just get a renewal but we'll see.My wife renewed her global entry within the last 6 months. She did hey interview when arriving into IAD from an international trip. I think it took some coordination to get that appt and she did wait 2-3 months to get the appt.
Renewed Global Entry in August. Still waiting to hear back.
Going on 4 months now...still pending.
Bang up job, boys!
Brother in law came home from Japan to Atlanta recently and stood in line for hours, only for them to close when he was 2nd in line.They will not, at least in any bigger airports. Now if you are returning from an international flight you can, but that's in the secure area of CBP.Just go to an airport and wait for a GE appointment. They say don't do that but if you sit there and beg they will eventually let you in and process it.
That sucks, they should have at least capped the line so they timed it when they wanted to close.Brother in law came home from Japan to Atlanta recently and stood in line for hours, only for them to close when he was 2nd in line.They will not, at least in any bigger airports.

WTF!Renewed Global Entry in August. Still waiting to hear back.

Yep, mine from August of '22 also still "pending review" in the portal. Been 8 months.
Renewed mine about a month ago (per above post). Still waiting for approval so I can schedule my interview.Out of the blue my NEXUS card arrived in the mail. About 6 months later, but in my hands now. Good for years now.
You probably should get the renewal process started...Out of the blue my NEXUS card arrived in the mail. About 6 months later, but in my hands now. Good for years now.
So hopefully you won’t need an interview. I didn’t have to go and do one.Renewed mine about a month ago (per above post). Still waiting for approval so I can schedule my interview.Out of the blue my NEXUS card arrived in the mail. About 6 months later, but in my hands now. Good for years now.
I think it’s kind of a push but it’s a bit complicated to be honest. I think they are kind of interchangeable for Canada. But generally Nexus is better for going into Canada, Global Entry better for coming back into US from Canada and other countries. So just depends which you value more.What's best program for occasional travel to Canada and once every few years trip to Korea?
I renewed mine and my two daughters a month ago (Nexus). It is in pending status, but because of delays they are tacking on another year before expiration (as long as you are in pending status).Going on 4 months now...still pending.
