I saw this garbled report:
"Permanent U.S. or Canadian residents who are Global Entry or another CBP Trusted Traveler Program members or repeat travelers from a country with a visa waiver may bypass the line and proceed directly to the Global Entry. Click here to view a list of all Visa Waiver Program countries."
From website https://www.flychicago.com/ohare/myf...s/default.aspx

Thanks for any advice.
You may only use Global Entry if you are enrolled in it yourself, which may be possible (though not between now and the flight if you’re not already enrolled) if you’re a citizen of one of the 14 participating countries. If you’re not, your wife can still use it (for example, to collect your checked bags, if any, so that as soon as you clear the border control you can immediately exit from customs, recheck your bags, and proceed to security).
