Submitted my application as well. Lets see what happens next.

Been a week and while for the first two days a U.S. number didn’t work, it works now but every time I try to log in it Jeri’s giving me an error, no matter how many times I reset the password. No clue what to do to fix that other than hope they see my email and fix the website.

If the over 70 thing is an actual stipulation I’d the program and not another coding error that’s absolutely ridiculous.

India FastTrack Immigration
 

Any one got enrolled. bio-metrics completed and used the eGates with Immigration ?

Its been less than 2 weeks since they started taking applications. I would be surprised if anything happens before the next 32 odd months. :p

Is this available to OCI who are not resident in India ? Read on some other group that you have to provide an Indian address proof..

The issue is that NRIs who have an address abroad printed in their passport can’t enter that address in the application. OCIs can enter a foreign address but the system won’t allow that for Indian citizens, even if that is what is printed in the passport.

Some folks in Twitter said they got appointment for Bio-metrics, but the selected (read Tier 2) airport Immigration officers had no clue.

I also wonder, if this will ease up the Global Entry Background check for Indians - I know too much optimistic. But then if some one is allowed to leave / enter using this, the GEP approval from India should be automatic.

Signed up 4 people on 28 June. It's not the friendliest process, but generally pretty straightforward. Got approval emails yesterday. Just about a week, so pretty good.
One of the people is an NRI - Indian passport, living abroad, with a foreign address in the passport. But I just used a Bombay address and it worked.

But no information on exactly how or where to do the final enrollment. The email just says "As a next step, you need to get your biometrics enrolled at Mumbai Airport (or any other designated International Airport in India) during your next international travel."

What I haven't been able to do so far:

• Couldn't apply for a minor though it was supposedly allowed per original notification I believe.
• I haven't been able to figure out how to go about it for someone with OCI. Similar address issues as others have reported. The passport doesn't have an address and the FTI-TTP site needs one, that too clearly an Indian address. MIght try just using an India address. Let's see.

And of course, no response to any emails. Not even an automated eff off copy paste job.

Got an email this morning asking for the following:

I had already uploaded the address proof when I applied but did so again today. Lets see what they come up with next.

So they are basically set up for resident Indians? Should I even bother to start the process (with an Indian Mobile and Address)?

That's odd. Though the instructions said address proof required, the application didn't ask for it. Come to think of it there wasnt even an option to provide one. I just did picture (as an image) and first and last pages of passports (as two separate PDFs).

If your address on your passport is your current address then you don't need to load anything else. If your current address is different then you have to load proof of address (like a driving license or voter ID).

I moved last year but have not updated my current address on my passport. I will run out of pages at some point later this year so was going to reapply for a new passport once that happened.

Ah that makes sense. Didn't expect the site to be intelligent like that... Hahah

Its actually pretty standard procedure when reapplying for a passport as well. The space where you upload your passport, the site will ask you if your current address is the same as the one on your passport. If it is then you don't have to upload anything else. If it isn't then it further asks you to upload the address proof.

Just got my approval. Took a little over a week. They asked me to upload my address proof this morning & approved it in the evening. Pretty good so far.

Now this is going to be the difficult part. If its anything like the initial Global Entry days then no one is going to have a clue where to go & what to do. I've sent them an email asking for more information so lets see if & when they respond.

I'm traveling to the US in another couple of weeks so it would be great if enrollment can be done at the time of departure so that I can use it on my way back.
