Good read, thanks for posting.

The part about standardizing interviews was interesting along with this nugget:
"the Global Entry application denial rate ranged from 0.1 percent of the 2,767 applications adjudicated at 1 enrollment center to 5.6 percent of the 2,156 applications adjudicated at another enrollment center in fiscal year 2013"

It was also interesting to see Mexican Citizens have already hit 4% of the 1+million in GE.

JFK, Miami, Houston, and Newark lead the pack on GE usage still, which is similar to numbers I had seen a couple of years ago. Going way back Dulles was up there but that was vestige of it being one of the three originals with IAH and JFK.

Orlando Sanford- 134 Global Entry uses in two years...nice ;-)

Sure would help if they provided more context, such as the next highest. Was 5.6% because the one next to the Mexican border was more suspicious? Or because the one in Omaha, Nebraska liked to reject people?

So based on the report. My reapplication basically is just a waste of my money and time.

I really wish I read this document before I reapply. It has been a nightmare for me.
