Hubby and I applied for Global Entry about April and next open appointment at San Francisco was in Oct. we were flying to Calgary in June and brought all our paperwork to see if we could "walk in" without an appointment in Calgary. No problem! Got interviewed, fingerprinted, pictures and got our card within a week!
Our experience has been different, unfortunately. We have tried to "walk in" at both DEN and PHL, and neither place allowed walk in interviews -- big signs both places. I'm still waiting for our appointment scheduled for the end of this month -- I believe we made it back in Feb.

Thank you for update my thread with good information . We will have a trip coming up in November and will stop by the office in San Francisco to see if we can do a walk in. I checked the website frequently and no early appointment is available for reschedule.

By the way, on our recent international trip (returned from London). We use the kiosk machine in San Jose airport , and not sure why the printed immigration paperwork had big back X cross mark printed on the paper. Then we brought the paper to the immigration officer, he spent his time to check thing in his PC monitor to clear us . He never ask us anything and every thing was clear within a few minutes . We were experiencing the same thing last Summer when we landed at LAX airport . Our record is clean and has never had any problem with immigration so far. I do not know if it is just a coincidence or somehow system single us out . I am curious to know the answer . If someone know it, please share

It's my understanding the X is random but it's odd that you both got it. If you get it again, ask the officer maybe there's something that's making it come up that you can avoid it next time.

You may want to ask about it over on Flyer Talk in the GE kiosk thread. People report all kinds of notations on their printout and what they mean.
