How long ago did your Global Entry (GE) expire?
So now the waiting game continues. Thanks iamflyer for the headsup. ^ |

Funny you should ask. I was looking at my wife's card and her expiration date is next year. If I recall correctly, we signed up at the same time. When I pulled out my card earlier in the month, I saw the card expired 6 weeks ago. A rookie mistake to be sure. After I thought about it, I realized that I got my card before she applied.
So now the waiting game continues. Thanks iamflyer for the headsup. ^ IIRC the expiration date depends on your birthday. |

I applied for renewal on Feb. 10, a few days before the expiration of the current card, but with a new passport. Application is still pending.
My wife applied a couple of weeks ago and received her card yesterday. She has not traveled much over the past 2-3 years. I am a moderate traveler - 2-4 international trips per year, almost all to Europe. Two trips to Cuba, both via legal processes with a visa. Could that be a problem? We are traveling together to France in a couple of weeks. I understand that my Global Entry is still valid - correct? I applied for renewal exactly 30 days before expiration. It is now 6 weeks and there has been nothing posted past Pending Review. I opened up a support ticket with CBP Info Center and this is their official response. If your application status is "Pending Review" then your application has been received and is being processed. Please note that processing times vary by applicant, but on average you can expect your application to be processed: • Global Entry/FAST: up to 11 weeks • NEXUS: 3-5 months • SENTRI: up to 8 months If you submitted a renewal application before the expiration of your current membership, then you can continue to use your benefits until the renewal is finalized (up to 6 months after your expiration date). We recommend that you print out a copy of your TTP Dashboard to show the pending renewal to show the Officer, if requested. A follow-up interview may be required upon renewal. This is determined by the vetting center and the determination cannot be appealed. After the application has been reviewed, the status will be updated to one of the following three statuses: > Conditionally Approved: > Denied: > Approved: A letter will be posted in your TTP dashboard under Notifications with additional information. If you are conditionally approved, you will need to schedule an interview. You must complete the interview within 365 days of conditional approval or your application will be cancelled and you will need to submit a new fee and application if you still wish to be a member. |

It is valid for 6 months after your expiration date if you put in your renewal application before the expiration date. I was advised by them in a support forum to print out a copy of the Dashboard to show your Application is Pending and that your former Global Entry was approved with the expiration date.

OP's GE only expired 45 days ago. Presuming that "upcoming flight" means "soon" OP will be fine.
|
Is that the case though since he applied for his renewal after his GE expired rather than before it expired?
|
Not that it's relevant for OP now, but, you can apply for renewal of Global Entry up to a year before the
expiration date. The new expiration date is 5 years from the original one, not the date of renewal application, so you don't lose anything. I found this out when I was about to cancel a credit card that reimburses for Global Entry application/ renewal fees. Applied, charged it to the card, got reimbursed, then cancelled the card. |

The TTP web site says that if you apply before expiration, you get 6 months grace period. The web site does not say what happens if you apply for renewal after expiration, but anecdotal reports here on FT imply that a similar grace period applies in that situation as well.

Keeping on topic - I learned if you submit an inquiry - not a complaint - you get a phantom half-created account on DHS.gov. That’s where / how I got a dopey boilerplate answer. If you do the actual complaint - as linked above - that triggers a review. But to do that you (or I) had to fill out all of my details including stuff like “manager”. It was odd. |
Applied February 10th for renewal, 2 days before expiration. Conditionally approved yesterday 4/22. Questions: 1) Does my Conditional Approval impact my six month grace period if I applied before expiration? and 2) If I am at the airport before ( 7 days) my scheduled interview can I try and get a "walk in" appointment?
|
It shouldn’t, and yes. I believe one can also do the interview as they pass through Immigration on one’s way back into the U.S. from abroad (at airports, not land crossings). |
