For those who are skeptical, this really works! I registered on 8/25. Received a text the same day and was able to get an appointment scheduled 4 days later. The appointment took less than 10 minutes. Originally it had said that I couldn’t get an appointment until November 1. Past the date of my trip. I cannot thank you enough!
Do you receive the TSA Prechek once you are conditionally approved for Global Entry or do you receive after your application is fully approved with the in-person interview? Thank you
Yes. Just be sure you list your KTN on your ticket when you book your flight. There should be a place to enter it on the website when you purchase your ticket. Your boarding pass will say "TSA Precheck" on it when you print it out. It will not show your KTN, though. I just used it for the first time flying home from Florida last week.
Yeah it took forever for me to get an appointment for mine. I drove 7 hours to my appointment and straight back in one day. But for me it was worth it. For my daughter everything went very quickly and I got her an appointment at the closest one to us an hour and a half away. It took me like three weeks total for hers from application to conditionally approved to her interview. Mine took months. This would have been a good thing for me!!
Oh wow! 7 hours! Yeah, sometimes you gotta do whatcha gotta do. Good for your daughter! I love that for her! I was shocked when I got my appointment. It took me about a year all together to get mine. This would have been great for me too because none of these options were available back then. 😂
I applied for my Global Entry on July 4th 2024, was conditionally approved on July 6th, Scheduled my appointment right away for interview and there were no available dates, they were all fully booked. There was no other choice for me but to get the August 12th appointment at Chicago O'Hare International Airport. To sum up, I waited for 6 weeks for my Global Entry interview.
How did you get it so quickly? I applied for Global Entry via NEXUS (entry to and from Canada in dedicated traffic lanes) on 7/31/2023. It took until 7/2/2024 to get conditionally approved. It was actually considered a renewal, but mine had been expired since 2008. Then the first interview date I could get was 8/6/2024. It was a total of 53 weeks from application to interview and final approval. Because I was using NEXUS, I got interviewed by both the US and Canada at the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit. My NEXUS card came about a week later in the mail.
Were you conditionally approved? If so, they should have sent you an email. I believe it’s IDs and proof of address but dbl check the email cause I’m probably missing something. 💕
I finally went through the actual Global Entry website and got an appointment for this Tuesday! Yay. There are tons of appointments between 4:30am-7am daily
