US Global Entry Program for Australian citizens [from 2025]

[Himeno]

@justinbrett, thanks for your response.

I've since had my background check completed with my result as "eligible" (with a Validity End Date in five years' time). Would the next step be to book an interview? If so, does it actually need to be booked, or do I just step aside at one of the eligible airports (found in link posted earlier) and have an impromptu interview? What's the correct process to follow for this as no instructions were received via e-mail?

I've never done this before, so my apologies if my questions seem basic.

You follow the enrollment on arrival signs the next time you go to the US

Some of these are in the primary arrivals area and you use that lane instead of the other entry lanes. Others are after the primary immigration area.

Happy to say it's returned!

How good is that

Took a quick look through this thread (I didn't get an invite, but have travelled to the US enough), but I just applied online and submitted an application at the TTP site (with the link from Global Entry for Australian Citizens )

(posting here in case others were also confused — you don't need an invite, you can just apply yourself)

@Himeno, I'm assuming that I could also do the interview at one of the non-USA locations too?

I'm going to be in Scotland and England soon, so maybe I could slightly alter my plans and do the interview in Ireland while I'm there?

Are they using incorrect airport codes for Irish locations? I thought that Dublin is DUB and Shannon is SNN (not IDW and INN like they have listed)?

They appear to have just dropped the E from the front of the ICAO code. So yes, they are using the incorrect codes!

The invite is the email from Home Affairs that follows your application on the TTP site.

I don’t think anybody said there was an invite to the whole process.

They are neither IATA, ICAO or FAA codes.

They are CBP codes, a whole other beast. Many major US airports don’t match either.

@RB001, @justinbrett, thank you for the confirmation.
I will look up CBP codes.

So, do you know whether I'll be able to have the interviews conducted at either DUB or SNN as the link mentioned earlier appears to indicate?
(I'm seeing if I can make it for into existing plans with minimal change.)

If not, I'll do it the next time that I'm in the USA.

I believe that as it would be in the US Preclearance area, that you could only use the Irish option if actually heading to the US. I don't think you're allowed back into the main part of the terminal.

That makes sense, @RB001, thank you for the clarification.

Are you aware of the timeframe I have to get the interview completed? As it looks like I have qualified for Phase 1, if I don't complete it prior to the the Phase 2 applicants, does it get voided?

My understanding is that the next time I arrive in the USA, or if I depart from one of the approved non-USA departure ports en route to the USA, I can have it completed then, as long as it's within the five-year timeframe (which it definitely will be). Is this correct?

It it has to be completed sooner, I can make a change to my upcoming Britain trip (but as that would be quite cost- and time-probihitive, I'd rather do it separately).

Either way, I'm still glad that it's gone through.

The locations outside the US are in CBP preclearance locations. You'd need to be entering the US via those locations to have the interview.

Phase 2 will be of no concern to you. This is now between you and the US, Australias part in your application is over.

You get 730 days from conditional approval to complete your interview.
