I went for my interview today and had the same thing happen to me. I was told that my prints would not scan and that I had to have a "fingerprint waiver" entered in my file. It will mean that I will have to see an officer each time I go through the Global Entry kiosk. I was told that I do not have to wait on the line but to just go up to the officer and tell him/her that I have a fingerprint waiver and they will scan my passport and be able to go on my way. Has anyone else had this experience and how did it play out when you went through immigration? I'm especially concerned with the Miami Airport.
Thanks.
