1. Submit your GLOBAL ENTRY application online

You can apply on the DHS Trusted Traveler Program website. You'll need to pay the application fee and fill out all the information about your background.

2. Wait for conditional approval

Getting conditional approval for your GLOBAL ENTRY can take anywhere from 24 hours to a few months depending on your specific circumstances and the current backlog of applications.

Check back on your application often. The DHS may also notify you by email once your application is approved, if you gave them permission to contact you.

3. Schedule your interview (even with "no appointments available for this location")

Now, the hardest part–scheduling your GLOBAL ENTRY interview.

Enrollment centers across the country are struggling to keep up with the backlog of GLOBAL ENTRY applicants. It's common to run into one of two scenarios:

The soonest appointment is months or years away

"No appointments available for this location" message

The secret: in both cases, new appointments (usually 1-60 days out) will become available every single day when other applicants cancel or reschedule their appointments.

Tip: The confusing "No appointments available for this location" message just means that all the interview appointments are currently booked. It does not mean the center is closed or not conducting interviews.

Finding a sooner GLOBAL ENTRY interview appointment

Tons of last minute interview appointments become available at nearly every enrollment center, every single day. The catch? These new interview appointments get taken fast. They'll often be snatched up within minutes after they appear, so you need to be very quick!

One option is to try your luck at refreshing the scheduler page periodically thoughout the day and check if any new appointments appear. Don't want to sit at your computer, refreshing all day? A better strategy is to use TTPTracker (Global Entry Appointment Scanner) to get instant alerts when interview appointments open up:
