US Global Entry Program for Australian citizens [from 2025]

[justinbrett]

I received the invitation to complete the background check already which was quick. However when trying to submit the application there is an error, no doubt due to the $0 amount and the process failing (Home Affairs website).

Submitted the Global Entry application and paid via the DHS website around 7pm this evening and received the background check email at 10pm.

I got the error also. I sent them an email.

Thanks for the update

Any updates for you?

I wonder what the process is and whether they consider entry to the US via ex-AU verses other origins. I recall reading the last bit where it said your application won't get proceed if the Australian Government doesn't confirm that you've visited the US 5 times in the past calendar year. My 5 visits have been a mix of AU and UK so I'm not sure if that's considered.

Or perhaps it's the variety of countries I visited that's holding it up.... (no Cuba/Iran/Iraq/NK/etc)

It’s 5 arrivals by the US CBP website. As much as the Australian website lists a bunch of options for proving the five trips, the actual application insists on a website printout of your i94 history.

I don't recall needing to provide this but I'm assuming this is a verification that will be undertaken by CBP/GE?

It was a page of the Australian vetting application.
