Yes, thanks. Caropooh explained it to me. The login was hidden in plain view, lol.
Don’t you just hate when that happens? Lol

No...I'm getting used to it!Don’t you just hate when that happens? Lol
Well, this is very interesting! I just logged into my account and it shows I'm conditionally approved! My older daughter is also conditionally approved. I'm very curious if it's coincidence 2 days after I contacted my congresswoman or if it's due to contacting her.
The next problem is there were no appointments AT ALL available at the 3 locations in Washington state or in Portland. I logged out and then back in and there was just one available next Wednesday at 9:00AM in Blaine, which means I'd have to leave my house by 5:00! Nothing for my daughter though. If I wanted to go to New York, Arizona or Texas, I could get an appointment in the next couple days!
I'm thinking of possibly doing that with my appointment next Wednesday. I did call the SeaTac Airport office today to ask about walk in appointments (apparently some have them), but they don't have them there. He did say that right now, appointments are all filled in Washington state, but are also only through the end of May. He said hopefully his manager is going to open up June and July appointments by next week. I may hold on to my appointment for now, but try and get a new one for me and have my daughter get one when they open up.
WE HAVE OUR INTERVIEWS SET UP!!!!!! They opened up more slots sometime today. I checked earlier and there wasn't anything. I just checked again now and they opened up quite a few. And the best thing is, it's at Seatac Airport, so we only have to drive about 20 minutes vs. Blaine which is about 2 1/2-3 hours.

I applied for my renewal in early January, the day after my birthday (earliest allowed) and was approved in about a week. DH applied for his renewal the day after his February birthday and is still waiting to find out whether he needs an interview or not. His GE has automatically been extended for a year after its 2021 expiration (previously the automatic extension was for 6 months).Update...LOL!
I submitted my application on Feb 4. Submitted DW and DD on Feb 5.
DW and DD approved on Feb 7.
I'm still waiting...and NOT all that patiently!
It's actually getting to be not a big deal with all the disruption from covid-19. We have a June Alaska trip planned with a side trip to Victoria, BC, but I'd guess the likelihood of actually doing that trip is in the 10%-15% range now.Followup on my post of 2/5/20 (#20), I decided not to wait for my wife to get conditional approval and made my appointment for the interview at Detroit Metro Airport. No one waiting in the office - in and out in about 5 minutes. While I was there, I talked to the agent about my wife's conditional approval delay. She said that those are taking quite a bit longer now, up to a year. My wife is still waiting, getting close to 6 months.

I really wanted to get it done because we would like to take some ancestral homeland vacations (Italy for DW, UK and Ireland for me). Needless to say, those trips are looking super-iffy for next year!
UPDATE:
APPLIED: Feb 4, 2020
APPROVED: DECEMBER 14, 2020 -- a smooth 10 months!
I guess after 25 years in law enforcement, I was suspect somehow...
Thanks! Same to you and the family.Glad you got! A nice Christmas present... hope you have a great one!
We got our Global Entry in February for a Mediterranean cruise in May , rescheduled to November and now hopefully May 2021! Have one in November to Caribbean... maybe we will see you then. Fingers crossed we can all travel again soon. When we can get vaccine we will be in line.Thanks! Same to you and the family.
Yeah, now if we can just get rid of covid. First round of vaccinations start today in Miami, I think just for healthcare and first responders (not sure).
Needless to say, our Alaska bucket-list trip didn't happen and I don't think it's happening this year either.
We were going with another family who live in Alaska, but now their DD and our DD are in college. Their DD was scheduled to study abroad in Europe for the Fall and Spring semesters, but of course that got postponed. They are supposedly going in January, but that would put her in Spain during the entire summer. So we'll see -- doesn't look promising.
Thanks for the update - it reminds me to check for DH’s renewal! He applied 2 days after you did and has been in Pending status since then!UPDATE:

He'll get an email telling him his TTP status has changed. Then you login to the website and see that you're now Conditionally Approved.Thanks for the update - it reminds me to check for DH’s renewal! He applied 2 days after you did and has been in Pending status since then!
