Where do I schedule my Global Entry interview?
To schedule a remote interview, eligible applicants may log into their TTP dashboard and select the “Scheduling Your Remote Interview” link. CBP recommends that applicants verify their e-mail address of record by using the “Edit Profile” link prior to scheduling a remote interview.
How long does a Global Entry interview take?
According to the majority of our Global Entry clients, the interview itself is relatively short and can last anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 minutes (with most lasting approximately 15 minutes). If you have a criminal record though or have traveled to “flagged” countries, however, your interview might last longer.
Why is it so hard to get an appointment for Global Entry?
Due to high application volume and a large backlog due to past closures, some Global Entry enrollment centers do not have open interview appointments for months and some locations show no available appointments at all.
Why are there no appointments for Global Entry?
As the pandemic took hold in the U.S. in mid-March, Customs and Border Protection, which runs Global Entry, shut down all the program’s enrollment centers. That meant that no one could get an in-person interview to complete their application, effectively halting new memberships.
Can I get TSA PreCheck before Global Entry?
No. To receive TSA PreCheck®, you must include your Known Traveler Number (your CBP PASSID for Global Entry, NEXUS, or SENTRI members) in the appropriate field of your airline reservation, and the TSA PreCheck® indicator must be displayed on the boarding pass to access the lanes.
What kind of questions do they ask at Global Entry interview?
Aside from basic biographical information (name, birthdate, address, etc.), questions should be limited to the following:
- Why do you want to join Global Entry?
- Who is your employer?
- What is your profession?
- Have you ever been arrested?
- Have you ever had an issue at customs or border patrol?
