Step 2 - Wait for conditional approval

After your application has been submitted, you will have to wait for conditional approval. Conditional approval means that you have been pre approved for the Global Entry program, but you need to schedule an interview to finalize your application.

How long it's actually taking: Most people get conditional approval in 1-4 weeks. During busy seasons (think January after everyone's New Year's resolution to travel more), it can stretch to 6-8 weeks.

Quick tip:

Triple-check your passport info matches your application exactly. Even a missing middle initial can cause weeks of delays. We've seen it happen too many times.
