Global Entry - Dual Citizenship
For those with dual citizenship, did you acknowledge this during the application/interview? I know the USA does not recognize dual citizenship, but I am wondering if either hiding it or mentioning it would cause one to be disqualified. I asked during my interview and he said it would not disqualify, but I wanted to make sure before my friend applies. The non-USA citizenship was obtained by birth, the USA was naturalized. Thank you.

Usually taken as: the US government will only recognize a US citizen as a citizen of the US and not accept -- under international (bilateral or multilateral) treaty obligations even when the other country's government wants to approach its own citizens on the basis of an international treaty or the like -- another country's claim of citizenship over that person (at least when) in the US with rights deriving from international treaties or the like.

So... if I'm reading through this, dual citizenship will not (necessarily) prevent me from getting accepted, but I do have to disclose it.
I'm in a special situation, since my second citizenship is Dutch, which actually is eligible to apply for global entry. Anyway, I enter and exit the US on American, and enter and exit the EU on a Dutch passport...

Did the online application ask? If it asked, and you lied, then your GE membership won't last long.

Bring your valid passport(s) and one other form of identification, such as a driver's license or ID card to the interview.
Yes.
