i'd say YMMV with that, as if the rooms is packed with others waiting, I doubt they'd take a few more holding everyone else up

JFK told someone (around 2 months ago) every family member most have their own apt, but doesn't need to be for the same time, but needs to be for the same date

I was wondering does it say in the passport itself that you have GE. I thought i remember the agent telling me when I get the new passport it will be on the passport.

it doesn't say in the passport, but the GE computers use your passport to search their database to see if you are a member. When you get a new passport you have to visit an enrollment center and have your GE updated to reflect the new passport.

Thanks for the response. Is that going back to GE like in JFK and having them update it? Because I called US passport and they have no idea what I am talking about.

try logging into your GE account and updating the info there, see if it works
and next time you use GE, just to be safe have the GE card with you in case it doesn't work

My GE app is still pending, but my sister who applied after me already got her appointment. Anything I can do to expedite?

I was approved right away and my wife waited three months. When I called he said there's nothing wrong with it, it happens.
