Global Entry, lol ,lol, lol.
Now that is a government program. My wife and I applied for Global Entry on 1 July 2019. For six months, there were a total of Zero appointments combined in Houston, Dallas, Austin. Then, we finally got appointments, a 5 hour drive one-way from us. The government canceled our appointment. Eventually we got another appointment in a different city 4 hours away and the government promptly canceled that appointment.
Again, we kept looking and obtained another appointment, 4 hours away. Government canceled that one too. We currently have appointments for 2 November, but I do not for a second believe that will really happen.
The Global Entry folks say, you have 12 months to complete the process or they will cancel your application and provide no refund. I am waiting them to invoke this rule on us next because we are clearly beyond 12 months.
In the entire 14 months I have trying to get global entry, I have never seen an appointment available in Dallas.
We had 2 out of the country trips planned for this year, both got canceled and rescheduled for next year.
We need some kind of line jumping system for people waiting in the global entry line. You know, a global entry process for the global entry line, for the line to get through security.
