I was conditionally approved for Global Entry, next step is to schedule an interview. Next interview isn’t available until September 2023. I know I can keep checking daily for cancellations. I’ve also heard that if you are re-entering the country via an airport, you can request a Global Entry interview right then and there at the counter.
Do any of you know if this same strategy could be used crossing by foot back into the US from Mexico? If I go to the counter and let them know I have been conditionally approved for Global Entry, will they interview me on the spot?
you need to go to the correct counter. not all counters do the interview. i went to the wrong counter. had to go wait in a different line. You need to bring proof of address. License should be fine. Answer a few questions and done. five to fifteen minutes depending on your answers, their mood and if you are in another program like TSA pre.
when i traveled in august, only participating international airports provided the interview on return.
