Recommended Posts

Took me almost 2 years. I travel a lot in US super useful. Security check in minutes

If you are not a US citizen there will be different line for GC with GE.

Not available for H1B

One more thing when you book your flight ticket you should mention that you have GE/TSA,or you boarding visa will not have the details for them to verify.

It is definitely worth it,  you will get tsa with it and also at POE while coming back you will have a separate entry digital verification and you are good to go.

Global Entry is worth it. Many Credit cards offer free credit to reimburse the spend on Global entry. This comes with TSA PreCheck included. 
 

Appointments are a challenge. You can get approved in the airport if you are entering from outside of US.

Also, TSA PreCheck automatically covers the kids. Global Entry is needed for kids too.

Depends. Conditional permit vastundi first. That can take up to 9 months, even though typical is 2 days. 2 days lo raakapothe 9months ki ready avvu. Conditional approval vachaka, you have to go for an interview. Interview dates based on city vary avutayi. Typically, months away. Else you can complete interview with a CBP officer when you are arriving in the US. Interview ayyake nee GE start avutundi. Interview ivvadaniki 2-3yrs validity vuntadi anukunta from conditional approval. Don't remember this part exactly. So, you can defer interview and travel into the country how many ever times you want. It is all your strategy. Recent ga virtual interviews kuda introduce chesadani vinna.

People here are misleading that GE can be applied by GC/Citizens only. This is not true. Anyone can apply. Even a visitor visa person. Secondly, I saw it beneficial because TSA Pre-check comes with GE. Domestic travel lo kuda darjaga vellochu. I paid $100 for GE for 5 yrs whereas TSA pre-check alone was $75 for 3 yrs. It boils down to $20 per year. Worth it even if you travel once a year. Many credit cards are also covering this charge nowadays. Travel luxury nerchukondayya. Enni rojulu ade middle class mentality and celebrities ki martrame ilanti lifestyle annattu vuntaru! Hyd airport lo valet service kuda use cheste, travel is luxury.

You'll still end up going thru officers and could be subject to additional questioning.

Police verification vundadu. Someone remote in DC does some verification for "conditional approval". I do not know what records they check. Not my business either as we are law abiding people.

You always get a card. Interview taravata intiki vastundi. GE tho SENTRI kuda vundi. Mexico and Canada ki road meeda ravadaniki.
