- How long from the interview until I receive my card and can use Global Entry kiosks, or does that happen instantaneously?
Thanks!
I did mine @ EWR as well (Term B). You walk up to the area and the CBP person will wand you down (for security). They also ask for your passport and check that you are on the list.
#1. Interview usually takes around 15 minutes (brief video followed by questions).
#2. I forgot my notification letter but only needed my drivers license and passport. I also brought my bank statement as well but didn't need it. Better to be safe than sorry though.
#3. You can use GE kiosks right after you are approved (which is usually a few minutes after your interview). For your card, it takes a few days but it's pretty fast.
