Has anyone else had this experience? Has anyone been accepted into this program?
I did speak with an agent at the Border Control in my local airport and that agent knew nothing about this program - not a very reassuring sign on my side.
All advice/comments gratefully appreciated.
Thanks for your thoughts on this.
Your information is not in a public space - it is inside the application software - so I don't believe you need to be worried specifically about an uncompleted application.
It makes sense to me that a US CBP or ICE agent would not know much, let alone details, of a Mexican program.
Note that for a US citizen to be eligible for the Mexican program the US citizen MUST be already enrolled in Global Entry.
Unfortunately I will not be enrolling in this program anytime soon; I usually travel with my kids to Mexico but the minimum age for enrollment is 18 so there will be little opportunity for me to take advantage of it.
It's too bad because I, too, find the lines for La Migra to be much longer than the lines for Aduana.
