Did not bring up dual nationality
My my partner and I were interviewed together. 10 mins total.
Approval emails came within 30 mins.
To be fair, the main reason you did not encounter an obstacle with not including your dual nationality on the application --
despite the general suggestions to include it -- is because you were not born in the UK.
If you had been born in the UK, the CBP officer at the interview likely would have noticed your place of birth and asked for your UK passport (examples of sources: (
1), (
2), (
3), (
4), etc., friend's anecdote), at which point one of these scenarios might have taken place:
- you say you don't have it with you, and the CBP officer potentially delays final approval until you bring it in
- you say you don't possess a valid UK passport, and the CBP officer instructs you that if you ever possess or renew a UK passport, to bring it to a Global Entry office
- (assuming you would have naturalized into US citizenship and neither parent was US citizen) you remind the CBP officer that as part of the US naturalization oath, you renounced your UK citizenship and are no longer a UK citizen or entitled to a UK passport in both the US government's eyes and your own eyes
