Hi, I’m Anisha! I’m all about credit cards and travel.
I have been using credit card points to travel since 2016. It has saved me a ton of $$ and I got to experience luxury travel along the way (of course, without paying full price). I want the same for you! *not financial advice*

Hi, great video. Do you know if H1B expiry date plays any role in application? My current stamp expires in Dec 2024 but I will eventually get an extension in couple of months so wondering if I should wait until I get the new stamp?
Did you get a card ? I heard that if you are not US citizen or PR or Mexican you wont be receiving a card i got approved but i haven't received my card yet
@@ujvalbrahmbhatt535 Hi, I read the same thing. Haven’t received a card but it was a pretty smooth experience going through immigration without the card.
"Permanent Resident Card number / A number" - Where can i find this? It is not same as USCIS#, right? Is it the last 13 digits on the top line at the back of green card?
Hey Anisha, Loved your content.. I have couple of questions hope you can help: - In the application form, do we need to just provide the signature or both (the left thumb impression/signature)? - While sending the application to vfs (via mail) do we need send any cashier check ?
@@rohitbhatt7949 Hi! Thank you!! So happy to hear that you liked the video :) Re. your questions - 1) I don’t think you need to add a thumb impression. I didn’t do it when I submitted my application in 2022. I am thinking this is only a requirement in specific cases. 2) I ended up going in person, but doesn’t VFS collect all the fees at the time of application completion? A cashier’s check for what fee exactly?
I applied at the ttp site and while entering the GOES/GES ID at the indian embassy page (New York) it says it’s incorrect, I’m confused as there are two numbers on the ttp site viz. PASS ID and Application ID. My question is: 1) which number goes to the indian embassy (Step 2) ? 2) I tried with the application ID and it threw an error saying “application number incorrect, please wait for 24 hours if you have just submitted your application, advise? 3) Should we expect any email in the mailbox? I haven’t received any after submitting my application on ttp.
@@dilawarshaikh7556 Hi! Did you 1) wait 24 hours and try again with the Application ID, or 2) try Pass ID in the GES/GOES ID field? I don’t recall having a problem at this step, so it’s probably just the 24 hour wait that would do it for you too. I don’t think the email should be a concern if you were able to view the application submission confirmation on the TTP dashboard. I am sure you have a copy of it. If you are concerned, you can email the TTP / CBP folks and get a confirmation from them. Overall, TTP says that they won’t email you updates so you should login and check your account, so I wouldn’t be surprised.
I applied March 1st 2024 and June conditionally approved and July attended interview and approved. May be now it's picking up the speed. Hardly 3 to 4 months..
Hi! Thank you for your comment and the suggestion 😊 I definitely can make a video on this topic. Adding it to my to-do list. Stay tuned! It will be coming to my channel soon.
Do we need visa stamp before applyting for global entry? Is it ok it I have I797A while appliying and then attend the in person interview after getting stamped?
Hi! I don’t think you’d need the visa stamp to apply. I applied for it based on my I-797A and after that, I traveled to India to get my visa stamped (my visa had expired and was due for renewal). The approval would anyway take months so I’m guessing you would have gotten your visa by the time you are attending the in-person interview. Hope this helps!
@@MyCCMoves Thanks. What information did you give under visa section? It asks for visa number right, did you provide I797 number instead of visa number?
Hi! I believe it could be useful if you still have a few years left on your F-1 with the completion of your program and then the OPT period, but I am not 100% sure how the application looks for F-1 folks, so please check the TTP website to be completely sure about eligibility.
Hi, Thanks for making the video. It is so helpful!! I applied for Global entry on the Trusted Traveller website. Now on the Indian embassy website it is showings as - Entered GES/GOES Application ID or Date of Birth is incorrect or not available with Passport Seva System. Did you face any problem with that?
Hi! I don’t recall facing this problem, but if I have to take a guess, could it be because it takes a few hours for the system to process the app ID? If you try after 24 hours, it might work. Worst case scenario, you can reach out to TTP folks to get this addressed. Good luck!
Do you know what address to fill for India verification, if parents have moved to a different city versus the address on Aadhar? Is it ok to fill address of parents location, with the risk that they won't have any of my address documents, but will have aadhar for a different city address?
Yes, Global Entry membership makes you eligible to participate in TSA Precheck! Once you are approved, you just need to enter your Global Entry Pass ID in the Known Traveler Number field when booking your flight.
@@rags125ny I believe you should be able to either update your details on the booking or call/chat with a customer service representative to update the KTN for you. I haven’t done it myself, but I’d love to know how it goes for you! 😀
thanks for the detailed video, would you mind helping with one question? What documents did the police officer ask for to your parents in India? I have all my documents with me here in the US..
Hello! Happy to help! I think they just check for identity and address proof so if your parents have your Aadhar Card, I think that should suffice. If there is a passbook/checkbook with your name and address, then that could help too. Other than that, the police officer would likely ask basic questions on your whereabouts. You won’t need to present any other key documents that you have with you in the US.
@@MyCCMoves unless you travel frequently I think the cons out weigh the pros. and points are literally nothing, it’s crazy to see people go into credit card debt for points that cost the bank nothing.
So happy that it was useful 😇 I was totally confused by that myself! Glad that there’s an option for us to do this while being in the US :) otherwise, it would be really annoying!
One mistake that I did was to cancel my very first cc when my other cc had good benifits. Turned out, canceling credit card makes a big dent on your credit score.:(
I have a Chase Freedom Student card which is my first credit card. If i upgrade the card to Chase Freedom Unlimited, will the age of my account change? Asking from a credit history POV.
An upgrade or downgrade is just a product change and does not impact your average age of credit. It will essentially be the same account, so you’ll be fine :)
Not good!! The cancellation fees for award tickets can go up to $200. There are a few programs that wouldn't charge a cancellation fee on award tickets but this one, unfortunately, does.
