We live in Tampa. After getting conditional approval I checked wait times for TPA and the appointments were months away.

Decided to connect in MIA enroute to SXM to do our global entry interview. Lots of open appointments.

Walked over to their office which was a little hard to locate. Small door on left side across from Lufthansa, Terminal J.

We were the only two there and went to different agents. Just a few basic questions and approved.

I asked when I'd get email approval. They hit buttons and said you are good.

Used GE enroute back to US (CLT). FABULOUS...There was a very long line which we just bypassed. Followed instructions on the machine, showed it to person there and we were done. Since we had no carry-ons there was no need to wait for luggage.

Just gave our slip to another person and that was it.

Thanks to everyone who helped me figure out how to do this interview, etc.

PS They did give us a form to fill out for customs on the plane, but since these questions were on the GE machine, they weren't needed.
