It's always a good idea to take a form and fill it out regardless of GlobalEntry membership.

If you're adamant about feeling that you don't need the form, just tell the FA you got a form already. No reason to "tangle" with an FA and make the flight that much more awkward/uncomfortable for the FA and/or people sitting around you.

I bet if you told them you already HAVE one versus you don't NEED one - there woukd be no issue and no confrontation. It almost sounds like you want them to inquire further or think 'special'. The FAs have no need to know the ins and outs, or why's regarding c&i, other than a form is needed - give 'em a break

Got approved today.
Is a lease okay for proof of residence? I just moved and don't have any rental payment stubs yet... |
Today at IAD: Arrived from LHR on UA923. I was one of the first off the plane, and there was a decent line even on the citizen side. The non-citizen side line was huge.
I went up to the GE kiosk, and (I timed it), was finished in 40 seconds. I even beat the deadheading pilot who exited the plane before me, rushed down the stairs, and was first at the crew line. I noticed there are now four GE kiosks -- I think when I went through a few months ago there were two. |

I used it for the first time a few days ago @ IAH, worked fine.
I didn't know you didn't need to fill out the stupid customs declaration card, you still have to do that for NEXUS, I wish you didn't have to.. its a pain. |
Thanks all.
A little hiccup today - my DL had my old address on it and they didn't know the SOP for that, so the CBP officer was looking for it. Luckily, accepting my lease was fine with them. Got approved and am now GE. :) NB Was told they have only done 175 interviews since August 28th (when the programme started) at BOS. |
anyone know where GE is at PHL....
CBP site says in A west at Federal inspection station. |

CBP site says in A west at Federal inspection station. The kiosks are towards the east side of the passport control area. For the interview, you get detailed directions from the scheduling system, but basically you go to A west to where everyone's exiting baggage/customs, go briefly the "wrong way" down the exit only path to get to a set of doors, and hit an intercom buzzer to tell them you're there for a GE interview. That'll get you into the baggage area and you'll be directed from there. |

I received conditional approval on 9/19 and on 9/20 scheduled by interview at JFK T4 for 9/21. The whole interview took 10 minutes (probably would have been shorter, but the retrace of the computer screen, as note by the agent, was slow.)

I and my wife applied three weeks ago. My wife got a reply back to schedule interview in about 5 days. Over three weeks have gone by and I still have not received an answer. We leave for Thailand on the 10th of Nov. How long did it take to get an answer back on GOES??? Appreciate any info any one can give me.

Global Entry
Thanks for this OP. Alot of helpful info as I just applied through the website and it took about 10 minutes online to complete. I have not looked for the kiosks at SFO but they should be there as of end of Aug 09 per the comments right from the web site. My last entry to SFO was 7/17. Especially coming through IAD this process very helpful as those lines can take anywhere from 30-60 minutes and when I came in from DXB on Oct 17 I only saw 2-3 person use the 2-3 kiosks. At 6:30 AM there are minimum 5-6 flights arriving so now making the closest UA connections will be easier. I will report back how long it takes for my application to be approved.

I also enjoyed the signage recently at IAD where they spell out the cost as "Just $20 a year!" Made me laugh - actually showed a bit of good marketing on someone's part though the 5 year minimum, so to speak, wasn't terribly clear.
