Global Entry<\/a>, which gives preapproved, low-risk travelers expedited clearance upon arrival in the U.S. from abroad, is the most popular Trusted Traveler Program run by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, with over 10 million members<\/a>.<\/p>\n In theory, it’s a straightforward process. Perhaps the biggest hurdle is the interview that first-time Global Entry applicants must schedule<\/a> as the final step of the application process (some renewals may also be required).<\/p>\n Due to appointment availability, scheduling an interview within a reasonable time frame through U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s online scheduling tool<\/a> can be challenging. As such, you may want to consider an appointment finder service such as Appointment Scanner<\/a>, which takes the legwork out of finding an appointment by doing it for you.<\/p>\n For $29, users get one month of appointment alerts (up to 25 per day) based on last-minute cancellations and newly released appointments across enrollment centers.<\/p>\n Appointment Scanner does not actually book the interview for you, nor does it sell appointments; it simply alerts users of appointment openings for which the user must sign up for themselves. It also notifies eligible Global Entry renewal applicants of remote interview availability \u2014 search “Remote\/Zoom options” when selecting your enrollment centers at sign-up.<\/p>\nHow it works<\/h2>\n
