Per the CBP Enrollment on Arrival webpage, "The EoA program eliminates the need for a Global Entry applicant to schedule an interview at an enrollment center to complete the application process."

The EoA process is the same for applicants who are not US citizens or Lawful Permanent Residents as it is for US citizens and LPRs.

I’d be very interested to hear of any recent EOA experiences at DEN. My flight from LHR next week is due to arrive at 5:45pm so I’ll be cutting it fine if I am to meet the 6pm deadline, assuming there is a hard stop. I am quick in my feet though. Any advice on where I should go would be deeply appreciated, if only to shave off any precious minutes.

Update: I finally managed to get them on the phone. At ORD they're open 12pm-7pm, 7 days a week, but NOT on federal holidays.

Dominican Republic Citizen, applied on the same day the DR became eligible (2 months ago) and just got conditionally approved. Have an international flight next week into ATL but arrives an hour before closing time. Hopefully I am able to EoA.

Update: arrived at Concourse F, Interview on Arrival sign very visible, desk is right before the exit to baggage claim. Agent said it was going to be 1h30-2 hours wait but I had a long connection so didn’t mind. 35 minutes after I got the picture taken and fingerprints, and immediately received the change of status notification via email.

Could you clarify, enrollment on arrival is open 7 days a week from 12-7 (minus holidays) or the regular office that does interviews is open 7 days a week. Whenever I look for an interview time online it looks like the office is only M-F.

I noticed the EOA setup at TBIT when I arrived on an international flight earlier this month.

Just past the baggage carousels, near the exit from the customs hall - well after passport controls - there is a prominent sign to the left advising individuals who are conditionally approved that they can have their enrollment interviews conducted there. There is a small seating area, perhaps big enough for a dozen to a dozen people, and what looked like four interview stations. Two of those seemed to be staffed with CBP officers when I passed by and three people were seating in what I assumed to be a waiting area.

Am asking for a friend. I used GE at EWR last week and I couldnt see any signs for EOA. Did you have to line up in the regular line first with other non Americans etc (if you are a non american sorry if wrong) then ask for EOA when you got to the agent at the front of the line? Then you had to move to another agent?

I thought needing to use EOA would allow you to jump the line but guess could be wrong.

Thanks

American or not, the way it normally works is you clear immigration like you don't have GE (which you don't) and they then will direct you to the EOA facility (sometimes it's a booth, sometimes it's an office sowmehere). Newark has EOA in both the B and C customs (though the terminal C has more restricted hours).

Enrollment on arrival and luggage collection
 

Hi all, flying into Miami on Tues and will do enrollment on arrival. Concerned though that have been advised by the airport that this has to be done before baggage reclaim. If there’s a long wait for the interview I’m concerned about the security of my luggage. Anyone know whether luggage can be got first or have any experience of this? Thanks.

The luggage will be fine. You're inside a Federal Inspection Station, so the general public doesn't have access to the baggage carousels, only inbound travelers from other flights. Chances are low that an inbound international passenger would knowingly attempt to steal a suitcase off of the belt and walk it out of the customs hall.

One other quick question.

I am returning from Mexico through PHX on 12/ 15.

I have an hour and 40 minutes between flights.

Is that enough time to stop in the Enrollment on Arrival office?

Has anyone been processed there?

Thanks in advance!

PS: Thanks Atsak. Good information!

lol I am same situation except 12/11! Definitely interested in opinions.

I realise this is out of date now but for future reference you interview will take too long and your bag will be removed from the carousel. You then have to collect it from enquiries desk. At least that's what happened for me.
​

Update on this. Got in PHX and lines were completely empty (!).Global entry said I had to go to regular line and ask if they would process an EoA so I did. The agent agreed and literally just processed it right there in like 5 minutes with the normal questions about not bringing in anything. So awesome and now have Global Entry!
