Some interesting quotes from the article, including the 100 a day average for appointments
HOUSTON, February 20, 2013—Due to strong international trade and commerce, the City of Houston marks the opening of a satellite enrollment center for the Global Entry program on the mezzanine level of the historic City Hall Visitor’s Center. Houston Mayor Annise Parker embraced the new satellite center not only as Houston’s Mayor, but also as a new applicant into Global Entry as she was one of the first citizens to be processed in the new location. “
The new satellite office will be used by Houston’s world travelers after submitting an online Global Entry application, to conduct their scheduled interview and program review in a centrally convenient location in downtown Houston. This new location provides potential enrollees to the Global Entry program a third option to complete the enrollment process in Houston, the two other centers located within George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH).
“Global Entry members enjoy a quicker CBP process averaging nearly five minutes to process into the country.”
The celebration of the opening is a significant symbol of Houston’s strength as a global gateway. In 2012, Intercontinental Airport hit an all-time record for the number of international passengers. The growth of new foreign flag carriers in 2013 includes Turkish Airlines with new flights to Istanbul starting in April and Air China with new service to Beijing beginning in July.
The entrance to the new Global Entry satellite enrollment center is through the Visitor’s Center at 901 Bagby Street. Free parking for a two-hour maximum is available on the street level at the north side entrance of the Visitor’s Center. Those with scheduled appointments will use the elevator to access the mezzanine floor and the center will be staffed by CBP on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. CST.
Currently, Houston reports an average of more than 100 Global Entry applicants per day and this new, convenient location is expected to boost the number of enrollments even further.
