Amex Platinum Benefit-Global Entry

[Buruch]

How long after applying online does it take to receive the email to book and appt?

Mine (us citizen) took a week. My wife (green card) took 2 days. My 1yo son took about 3 weeks

[Emkay]

Been 2 weeks since the application was filled out online and still says pending. Its needed ASAP, is there any sort of number I can call to speak to a human?

I have an appointment at JFK for July. I am going to be near Newark today do you think I can just go in and try to do the interview or its a waste of time? I tried to switch the appt but nothing is available

I always looked at New York as opposed to New Jersey. My bad.

I guess you could give it a shot but IME @JFK they do double check with the appointments.

you think I should switch my appointment to Ewr for a later date. Or just leave my jfk so I don't lose it.

Is EWR more convenient for you? And is there something open? Have you checked if there is an open slot today around the time

that you will be there?

nop Le nothing open in Ewr. The closest appt is for August. My appt at jfk is for mid July. Both airports are fairly close to me but I happen to be real close to Newark today and nothing to do so I want to give it a try

If you need a status change (such as citizenship) you could walk in. For applicants you need an appointment.

I'm sure this is a repeat, but please indulge me.
What about little kids?  If a couple both have GE, from what age do the kids need their own?  Or can little ones just go along with their parents?
