My license shows my old address (which is also on the app). Utilities not in my name. Can I take tax return, cable bill or car insurance info as proof of address? Thanks
Had my interview yesterday at DTW. Was approved within 30 minutes or so.
Applied: November 5th
Conditional Approval: November 9th
Interview and Approval: November 13th.
A few things I noted:
The office at DTW is tiny but has tons of availability.
The interview itself was only 2 minutes, at most. The longest part was getting your finger prints taken.
There are 0 emails in this process. There probably were with GOES but with this new system, there are no emails. You have to check the website yourself. It seems the CBP agents don't know this since I was told by the officer that I'd get an email within 24-48 hours to check my application. There is no such email. I waited around at the airport for 20-30 min and checked. It seems that the new TTP website was released kind of half-assed because at every step you are told to look out for emails, none of which ever actually come.
There was a family of 3 waiting to have their interviews done while on a layover. Their interviews were 15 min apart. They told them they could interview all of them together.
My PassID starts with "15", not "98 or 99" as the CBP website states it will. I asked the officer about this and she said they are issuing "15" ones now too, but also "98" and "99". Not sure if it makes any difference.
The officer spoke to me like I was already approved and handed me the little "Welcome to GE" booklet but she wouldn't say if I was actually approved or not. I thought that was a bit strange.
One last thing: my GE membership expires 5 years after my next birthday. I thought it would be 5 year from approval but the TTP page says it expires on my birthday in 2024.
