What are the common challenges that can make the process of arranging an interview more difficult?

Obtaining a Global Entry Card can be a difficult and time-consuming process, as appointments are often booked out several months in advance due to the high volume of applications. However, our service is here to streamline the process and help you secure an appointment quickly and efficiently.

The Global Entry program, a go-to choice for frequent international travelers, has seen a significant surge in applicants in recent years. This growing demand has made it increasingly difficult for individuals to secure interview appointments that suit their schedules. One of the primary reasons behind the limited availability is the shortage of TSA personnel assigned to conduct these interviews. Fewer staff mean fewer interview slots, resulting in extended wait times and booking delays.

Compounding the issue are occasional government shutdowns, which can force temporary furloughs of TSA employees. These interruptions can delay the processing of applications and lead to the cancellation or rescheduling of interviews—further slowing an already overburdened system.

Despite these challenges, the TSA remains committed to enhancing national security while striving to improve and streamline the Global Entry process. Efforts are underway to expand appointment availability and increase efficiency within the constraints of current resources.

Tip: To improve your chances of securing an interview, regularly monitor the appointment calendar and be ready to book as soon as a slot becomes available. Persistence and quick action can make all the difference in navigating this high-demand process.
