My daughter's GE application is in her married name.
Her passport is still in her maiden name.


She has an appointment scheduled. 
Is she sunk?

She is not sunk, she should take along her marriage cert.

GE will be issued against the name as shown in her passport. When she gets a new passport, she has to update GE which requires in person visit but no appointment

Indeed.
She went for her appointment today. The interviewer was a little incredulous that she hadn't converted all her documents to her married name.  But,
She was approved under her maiden name!  As everyone here assured me would most likely happen.


Thank you all!!

I was told over the phone otherwise.

I just booked an appointment for myself. The rest of my family's apps haven't gone through yet, so I can't book their appointments yet. If we all go together for my appointment, will they process all of us, or do I need to find appointments at the same time for all of us (separate days is not an option for us)?

I was told by them that I have to make appointments together, but it really depends on who you get.

Told by whom? You went to a location with multiple people and they would only take whoever had an appointment for that time?

Does anyone know if JFK Global Entry allows for walk-in interviews? Any data points would be helpful.

Doubtful. Some have reported having a future appointment, but walking in earlier with success.

While I can't answer your question, frequently checking for canceled appointments can get you good results. My initial appointment in JFK was about 6 weeks out, but i was able to move it much closer. (i think about 1 week) A friend of mine hade the same good experience.

My renewal was approved, didn't say anything about an interview, does that mean I should just be receiving a new card in the mail ?
