What is the Global Entry Program?

Understanding the Benefits and Process of Global Entry

Your time is valuable. In an increasingly interconnected world, efficient and expedited travel has become a priority for many. For frequent international travelers, navigating long customs lines can be a significant inconvenience. This is where the Global Entry program comes in—a trusted traveler program designed to streamline the customs process for pre-approved, low-risk travelers entering the United States.

What is Global Entry?

Global Entry is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) program that allows expedited clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers upon arrival in the United States. Members of the program can bypass the traditional passport control lines and use automated kiosks at select airports. This program is available to U.S. citizens, U.S. lawful permanent residents, and citizens of certain other countries.

The Benefits of Global Entry

1. Expedited Processing: One of the primary benefits of Global Entry is the ability to quickly clear customs and border control. Members use automated kiosks at participating airports, which significantly reduces wait times.
2. TSA PreCheck: Global Entry members also automatically receive TSA PreCheck benefits, which allow them to use dedicated security lanes at domestic airports. This means they do not need to remove shoes, belts, or light jackets, and laptops and liquids can stay in carry-on bags.
3. Convenience: For frequent travelers, the convenience of Global Entry cannot be overstated. The ability to quickly pass through customs means less time spent in lines and more time enjoying your trip.
4. Validity: Global Entry membership is valid for five years, providing long-term benefits and savings on time and stress.

How to Apply for Global Entry

The application process for Global Entry involves several steps:

1. Online Application: Start by completing an online application through the Trusted Traveler Program (TTP) website. You’ll need to provide detailed personal information and travel history.
2. Background Check: The CBP conducts a thorough background check to ensure applicants are low-risk.
3. Interview: If your application is conditionally approved, you’ll be invited to schedule an interview at a Global Entry Enrollment Center. During the interview, a CBP officer will ask questions about your travel habits and take your fingerprints.
4. Approval: If you pass the interview and background check, you’ll be approved for Global Entry. You’ll receive a Known Traveler Number (KTN) that can be used for TSA PreCheck benefits.

To learn more about the process, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency has produced an online gateway that provides more information about Global Entry and other programs.

Global Entry Renewal and Reconsideration

Global Entry membership must be renewed every five years. The renewal process is similar to the initial application and may include another interview. If your application is denied or your membership is revoked, you have the right to appeal the decision.

Global Entry is an invaluable program for frequent international travelers, offering significant time savings and added convenience.

When Your Application Has Been Denied

Once you have applied with Global Entry, the United States Customs and Border Protection Agency has discretion in administering the program. With that being said, there are specific reasons as to why your application can be denied. The following are some of these reasons:

• Providing incomplete information and/or any false declarations on the application;
• Having been detained for or found guilty of criminal offenses;
• Have open criminal charges or pending warrants in a country or
• Having been convicted of participating in or the planning of any terrorist attacks.

If your application has been denied, you can seek to challenge or appeal this decision. Doing so will not guarantee a successful approval. However, it will amend your application to clarify any missed or incorrect information and ultimately give you a fair opportunity to apply. It is important to note that past convictions or even an expunged criminal charge have been reason to reject an applicant mistakenly. If you have had a past criminal conviction expunged, an experienced attorney can help you appeal your rejection.

Appealing a denied entry into the Global Entry program can be a lengthy and challenging. Hiring an experienced lawyer can ease the procedure. It can also shorten the application process, ultimately saving you both time and money.
