Hiya

There are now slots in Amsterdam in June for the i/v for people (like me) who've been conditionally approved but yet to have an interview. Be quick!

The GOES site seems to suggest it's straightforward ("Global Entry members may update their passport through their GOES account. This applies only to passports that do not include a name change.") - but I don't have experience so this may be incorrect (or US only)

Slightly OT but can anyone tell me if it's possible to add my Trusted Traveler number into a BA booking. I now get TSA Pre on my AA and UA bookings but I'm not clear how to get it on a BA booking ex-USA.

I suspect this is down to the DHS officer not knowing the difference.

Anyway has any non-resident (excluding Mexicans and Canadians) got one?
Just curious?
Yes. I am non resident of Canada for tax purposes (though a Canadian citizen) and I used my friend's address in YYZ to get the card (though I did update my profile in GOES to that new address, and actually went there to pick it up as well as to attend business there.)

Since BA is not a participating carrier, you cannot get PreCheck on BA flights.

Thanks. Pity. Another reason to book on AA rather than BA.

Yes, I have Global Entry and am a UK citizen who is a U.S. Non-resident (Viz E2 Visa). However, the "window" for UK citizens may be closed at the moment(?).

DHS will want to look at your passport at the interview, along with a Police Certificate from your home country. I'm not saying the DHS are all Rocket Scientists, but don't sell them short.

Has anyone been able to join recently? I've just emailed the Foreign & Commonwealth Office to see if they have any updated information.

Sorry to revive an oldish thread but are any promotional codes currently being released to UK citizens for Global Entry?

Given the Registered Traveller service is now up and running in the UK isn't it time someone prodded the DHS to point out reciprocity is happening?

god I hope so, despite my begging and pleading, my girlfriend never sent off for the code, so my having GE has essentially been reduced in usefulness to not having to fill out a customs form...

Isnt this going to be less of a thing now? Last week I went via ORD and they had the APC kiosks for ESTA holders. Absolutely no queues at a place I have queued up to 2 hours earlier.

I heard these are now appearing for ESTA holders in other airports

The ones in Miami were mobbed on Monday with ESTA holders. Thankfully the Global Entry kiosks were completely empty just a little farther down the hall.
