An article I stumbled upon about Global Entry, dated September 4, 2022, said this:
"This week, DHS disclosed that due to a COVID-incurred backlog and a surplus of new applications, the agency is experiencing delays in processing applications by up to 18 months. It’s important to note that such delays are just processing new applications, not including the in-person interview."
I guess I will put looking into GE on the back burner for this year's trip, use Mobile Passport and make sure I'm paying attention going through customs to spot any advantages for next time.
