Enrollment on Arrival is a program operated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to allow Global Entry applicants who are conditionally approved to complete their interviews upon arrival into the United States or when using CBP Preclearance facilities. The Enrollment on Arrival program eliminates the need for a Global Entry applicant to schedule an interview at an enrollment center to complete the application process.

When landing in an international terminal follow the signage directing you to CBP officers who can complete your Global Entry interview during your admissibility inspection. If you require assistance for your Global Entry interview because of a disability, immediately inform the interviewing CBP officer of your need for a reasonable modification or auxiliary aid or service to participate in the interview. For your planning purposes, please understand that if you use EoA and are requesting a modification, aid, or service at that time and an effective modification, aid, or service is not readily available, the interview may be scheduled for a later date.

To complete the interview via EoA, you must be in possession of the following documents:
  • A valid passport. If you travel using more than one passport, please bring them all to the interview so that the information can be added to your file.
  • Documents providing evidence of residency. Examples are: driver's license (if the address is current), mortgage statement, rental payment statement, utility bill, etc. This is not required for minors.
  • A permanent resident card (if applicable).

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask some of these questions, but I might as well stick to one post:

1) Can anyone confirm that I would be eligible for Enrollment on Arrival as a UK citizen? [Website makes no mention either way, so I assume it's fine]
2) Won't be arriving to enroll until the end of September - is 365 days from application correct as the deadline for getting the interview? [There is something about scheduling in 60 days, but then rescheduling...]
3) My partner and I will be relocating to Amsterdam in a month [from the UK] - will applying before we move cause any issues?

Many thanks for the help!

Enrollment on Arrival is available to everyone who received conditional approval.

The enrollment interview must take place within 365 days of receiving the conditional approval; there is no need to schedule one if you intend to do EOA, but it is not a bad idea to schedule an interview as a back up plan.

As long as you update your address during the interview, I don't foresee a problem; I assume that a UK citizen qualifies for GE regardless of their country of residence. Please refer to the "Global Entry Procedures and Timelines of Applications and Renewal for UK citizens" and "Global Entry application - how do I change/update information?" threads for additional information on these points.

According to https://www.cbp.gov/travel/trusted-t...cations/canada yes there is EoA available at Toronto Pearson (YYZ) airport. Details on the web page.

I guess I’m a little confused, would we do the interview at Pearson before we fly out to LaGuardia or would be do the interview in LaGuardia once we land after flying in from Pearson?

No customs at LGA. Would be at YYZ, terminal 1. (Where UA/AC fly out of)

So when we get to Pearson we go to customs and do the interview there before we board our flight to New York?

Yes, it is called "preclearance". Here's more details about preclearance:
https://www.cbp.gov/border-security/...s/preclearancepreclearance

Preclearance applies to everyone traveling on your flight. All passengers on your flight will "enter" the US and pass through US Customs at Toronto airport.

Enrollment on Arrival applies to conditionally approved applicants for Global Entry. While passing through US Customs just like everyone else (at YYZ), you will also have the opportunity to conduct your interview for Global Entry by following the instructions for Enrollment on Arrival given previously.

That is bad advice!

Enrollment on Arrival interviews are conducted during the US entry passport and immigration inspections.

At Toronto, a US pre-clearance location, the EoA locations are booths 18 and 20 in Terminal 1 and booths 1 and 2 in Terminal 3.

Edit - I was thinking of walkin interview location, not EOA. Didn't realize EoA and walkin was different. When I did my original interview they called it EoA, but it really was just a walkin interview.

I just finished composing a long reply to your original message.

I will just let stand the CBP description of Enrollment on Arrival:
Enrollment on Arrival is a program operated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to allow Global Entry applicants who are conditionally approved to complete their interviews upon arrival into the United States. The Enrollment on Arrival program eliminates the need for a Global Entry applicant to schedule an interview at an enrollment center to complete the application process.

When landing in an international terminal follow the signage directing you to CBP officers who can complete your Global Entry interview during your admissibility inspection. You won’t need any additional documents other than the requisite documents for international travel (e.g., your passport).
YYZ is an Enrollment on Arrival location.

Did you end up doing the EOA at IAH? We might try there a couple of months from now and wanted to see how it worked out for you.
