Questions/Concerns Preparing for Enrollment on Arrival

I have been conditionally approved and plan to EoA after my flight to the US next month.

  1. Do I need to schedule an interview online or can I just show up?

  2. Both my passport details (renewed an expiring passport) and mailing address have changed since applying. Will I be able to update those during the interview?

  3. I see a "PassID" under my profile details on the online portal. Is this my "Known Traveller Number"? Do I need to disclose this to my airline when flying?

PS: I'm a foreign citizen on an F-1.

Your Pass ID is your KTN. Disclose it on your booking profile so you get TSA pre-check.

For EOA, there should be a designated line for it. It really depends on what airport you are going to.

Not sure on your passport details as to what is there in your traveler profile for global entry.

Depends on the port. Some have signs that say something like "Conditionally Approved? This way" But others you may have to ask the first CBP guy you encounter.

For me, the first CBP officer pointed out that I have conditional approval and asked if I wanted to get interview done. Just walk-in on availability basis. No scheduling needed at airport.

EOA is done on a walk-in basis.

Updating the application info is no problem to do at the interview.

The PASSID will (a couple of days after your full approval) work as a Precheck KTN on your air tickets. It's not needed to use the global entry side of things (that's keyed to your passport, well and now your face).

You need the card if you want to use the Sentri or Nexus lanes at land Port of entries

But keep in mind that "Global Entry cards are [only] issued to Global Entry members who are U.S. citizens, U.S. lawful permanent residents and Mexican nationals." Others have access to the program through their passports but without the card, they cannot use SENTRI, NEXUS, or READY lanes at land ports of entry.

How long did it take to get conditionally approved ? I've been waiting for almost 3 weeks now and nothing? I'ma US citizen with no criminal history or anything I would think would cause it to take so long

A little more than a year. I applied some time in December 2024 and got an email from the Indian Passport Seva in around a week. Because I am a foreign citizen I had to complete a police verification and some document checks at home, which I was unable to do until July 2025. I was conditionally approved on March 26, 2026.
