nothing in the CFR you quoted above says anything about the passport used for eligibility, whatever that even means. Did you just make this term up? You submit all your passports during application and interview process and as long as they are valid they should be acceptable for entry.
As far as OP is concerned, it sounds like they should at a minimum visit an enrollment center on arrival and add their second passport for future usage.
Since its inception? You're not exempt from an inspection just because you're a TTP member. The officer may still talk to any GE member as they deem appropriate. You seem to be confused about the difference between an in-depth interview and a simple "interaction" where the officer may ask if you have anything to declare. The point and goal of the program is (and has always been) that instead of an in-depth interview where the officers will establish the 5Ws for every one and on every single entry, those who passed the background check and an in-depth interview at enrollment will get to bypass the in-depth interview at entry in order to alleviate the workload of the officers.
8 CFR 235.12(f) clearly states the requirement for members to be in possession of
an appropriate travel document as determined by CBP. Unfortunately you still don't get the point.... the point is it doesn't matter how you interpret it whether you choose to acknowledge this fact or not.
You can submit all the passports you want but you don't get to choose which passport to use. This has already been proven by the experience of the poster above who have submitted his two passports and adamant that he has done every step. However, the fact that he still need to see an officer to "enter a visa" on every single entry and his inability to use the GE kiosk to conclude his entry process speak for itself that one just simply can't use a passport from a country one did not apply GE with.
For the sake of staying on topic, if the OP obtained the GE benefit by virtue of being a GBR Citizen, he needs to use his GBR passport to enjoy the GE benefit. I agree that he needs to update his travel doc and citizenship at an EC ASAP. But please stop giving anyone the false hope that one can use any passport(s) one pleases. That is just reckless and irresponsible as the consequence can be severe. Especially so for the handful of posters who keep on encouraging the OP to "
update the passport and use it" but none can provide any factual evidence and/or real life experience that this can indeed be done.
The point of adding the passport/citizenship is for background check only, it has no effect on what document one may use for GE. However, if one lost or obtained a citizenship that would have direct effect on his/her US Immigration status, that would be a totally different story.
The OP himself should evaluate whether running this risk is worth the 10-15 minutes he may save on this one trip and consult with the Enrollment Center directly.
