US Global Entry Program for Australian citizens [from 2025]

Happy to say I finally received my Aussie invite for background check on Monday - so hopefully not too long for that to come through.

Good to hear. Amazing what a difference a few days makes.

Been following this thread for a while; as an update, I applied for GE 18th Jan, background check completed 21st Jan, GE interview booked and attended at Newark (as already in the US) for 27th, final approval received 28th. Was told card would be delivered within 1 month, but can start using immediately as I known have the known traveller ID. All up, 10days from application to approval.

Just FYI you don’t get a card as foreign passport/ resident.
Doesn’t matter most places. Only been stopped once at ORD by someone sorting queues to show it Told her I don’t have or need one and kept moving.

Great, thanks! Perhaps the CBP interviewer was just on autopilot when he mentioned the card!

Is this because they only send GE, ABTC (US/CAN) and NEXUS cards to US and Canadian addresses? I have NEXUS membership which requires the physical card and it can only be mailed within US and Canada.

So if you put a US/CAN mailing address in your TTP profile would you get a GE card?

I have GE as a non-citizen, living in the US, and do not get a card. It's just for US citizens, LPRs and Mexican Citizens Global Entry Card
