Global Entry Enrolment on entry success
Posted: 23 Nov 2018, 20:09Well I’m not sure how we got so lucky after hearing recent experiences with enrolment on entry for Global Entry but we managed it yesterday.
Our flight, VS15, was delayed by nearly 2 hours so we didn’t land in MCO until 6.40pm, just behind a Lufthansa flight, so I was even contemplating not bothering and just going to pre-booked interview next week. The queue for border control wasn’t the worst I’ve ever seen, but it still took 30-40 minutes. The officer was really nice and friendly, so I explained that we had conditional acceptance and he said, no problem, I’ll call a colleague. After a lot of too-ing and fro-ing, the colleague took us the the GE registration point, right in the middle of the kiosks. He then took a while finding someone who could use the computers. Turned out the only person who was trained was our original officer. Another officer turned up as he wanted to learn to use it as well. There was a lot of trial and error but eventually we heard those words - you’re both approved. Well worth the wait (we were the only people left in the arrivals lounge as was our luggage).
As a few people have said, it’s still relatively new to the people in arrivals (2 people welcoming us in told us there was no such thing as enrolment on arrival, despite a lot of signs advertising it).
Now we are waiting for our acceptance emails..I’ve read some people receive them within an hour of their interview - how long have v-flyers waited for your emails?
