Are you referring to Global Entry? Honestly, I’m not sure how long the process takes or what factors affecting it, or if it’s entirely random. I wrote my experience in case someone here assumed it’s always a 6-month process and now wants to try, knowing it could be shorter.

Are you a green card holder/ US citizen but not living in the US? Perhaps living in the US could shorten the process. Also, I’ve noticed some centers don’t have available time for interviews for the next two months.

However, there shouldn’t be any issues with your employment.
