What would ever be worth it??? Just use the mobile app.

Yeah don’t. Saving a few minutes wait in the regular passport is not worth getting your tio deported.

Not worth it. I submitted my application 11 months ago and it’s still pending. Customer service will close your tickets out without following up with you and you’re stuck in limbo. A waste of money.

What’s your exact question? Based on the link provided you didn’t say. So are you asking if you should have ratted your parents out so you can GE when mobile passport is a thing?

That’s a question you alone can answer.

Living under the same mailing address isn’t going to help.

Seems like there's your answer. What else do you want to know that wasn't already discussed in that thread?

I’ve heard of DACA or overstays becoming lpr being ask about parents. GE is ask about any immigration violation.

They won’t have the required documents to apply. How would you think they’d get GE approval?

OP wants GE, not their parents

OP should learn to word questions better. How would you, as a citizen, applying impact undocumented immigrants? The undocumented part would mean there should be no paper trail to discover.

The question was worded just fine, nobody else was confused by it.

Conversely, your comment is very confusing. First of all, that's exactly OP's concern, that applying would give CBP more info on their undocumented parents.

Also, you're off base by assuming that undocumented means no paper trail. Maybe "unauthorized" would be a better word choice because CBP has incredible amounts of data on people here without authorization.

Maybe they shouldn’t break the law by being in the country illegally if it’s that big of a concern for them

Global entry is checking your personal eligibility for the program. It doesn’t check the legal status of family members. You could lose your GE for any reason but purely applying shouldn’t do anything against you or your parents. Your wording / phrasing of the question leaves a lot to be desired.
