Global Entry - Non-Immigrant Visa to Green Card
Hi,
I was approved for GE 18 months ago while on an L1A visa. I now have a green card, and assume I need to update my details with GE as the document I'm using to enter the country has changed. I can't see any way to make this change online. Can I simply show up at an enrolement center and ask for this? Are there any documents I need beyond my green card and passport? I have access to the centers at EWR and JFK.
Thanks!

Granted, it is a different change of status, however, perhaps this thread may be of help:

So, I went through Global Entry without any issue, despite not having update my documents. The machine took my picture, then went straight to printing my ticket. I told the officer who checked my passport and green card that the last time I entered had been on an L1, and I now had a green card, but I had yet to update my details with Global Entry. He said it didn't matter and waved me on. I'm waiting to see what my I-94 says I entered on when it updates. I'm hopeful it says green card and not L1!

So this is interesting, it seems that to answer my original question, if you are on a visa (at least an L1), and get a green card, there's nothing for you to do when it comes to updating documents for global entry.

Thanks! I was getting a bit worried with the lack of update.

A bit of a specific question, but if anyone can answer, it will be FT.
I got my GE whilst I was in the US on a visa. I have since become a LPR.
How do I go about getting the information changed to show my GC and not my visa? I’ve looked on the TTP website and can’t see anything about changing it.
Appreciate it’s a relatively niche situation, but I’m sure I’m not the only person who has encountered it.

It looks like this seems to take care of itself from the comments above. I guess I’ll see next time I’m out of the country.
I do find it a bit odd how little information there seems to be easily accessible on GE changes.

I called the GE office at IAH arrivals and they told me to come into the office to get it sorted. You can’t make an appointment for this kind of thing so I had to sit and wait.
fortunately it was quiet and the officer came out within 10 mins and asked if I had an appointment. I said I needed to add my Green Card and he took the card and my passport away, having written down my pass ID number. 2 mins later he returned and it was done.
When I got home I could see the Green Card in my profile on the TTP website.

I can’t speak for the poster above who said it sorted itself out, but I don’t believe that to be true.

I’ll give the CLT office a call and see if they can help me out.

It was quite straightforward for me to get my Green card included on my TTP profile.
However, I have not received a Global Entry Card. Does anyone know how to receive a Global Entry Card as a recent permanent resident?
