Travelers looking to speed up the Global Entry enrollment process will have a rare opportunity next month at the Erie International Airport.<\/p>\n
While receiving Global Entry approval can take four to six months, one of the final steps is completing an in-person interview. From August 11 until August 13, travelers will be able to complete that requirement during a special three-day Global Entry Interview Event.<\/p>\n
Global Entry is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection program designed to make international travel easier for pre-approved, low-risk travelers. Members can move through U.S. Customs more quickly when returning to the United States from abroad, helping reduce wait times at airports.<\/p>\n
The enrollment process begins with submitting an online application. Applicants then undergo a federal background check before receiving an invitation to schedule an in-person interview. Depending on demand, that step alone can take weeks or even months.<\/p>\n
To participate in the interview event, applicants must have their Global Entry application completed and all required documents submitted before they can be interviewed and fingerprinted.<\/p>\n
The Global Entry Interview Event will be held August 11 until August 13 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Erie Airport.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Travelers looking to speed up the Global Entry enrollment process will have a rare opportunity next month at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":242299,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[52390,102303,102304,136,138,18234,137,102300,102278,61352,37791,102301,103842,53012,98534,103825,102302,52392,4491,29639,24015,8736],"class_list":["post-242298","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-erie","tag-authentication-methods","tag-border-crossings","tag-borders-of-the-united-states","tag-erie","tag-erie-headlines","tag-erie-international-airport","tag-erie-news","tag-expedited-border-crossing-schemes","tag-global-entry","tag-government-and-personhood","tag-identity-documents","tag-internal-affairs-ministries","tag-international-transport","tag-international-travel","tag-international-travel-documents","tag-interview-event","tag-national-security-institutions","tag-personal-identification","tag-travel","tag-u-s-customs-and-border-protection","tag-united-states-department-of-homeland-security","tag-united-states-federal-executive-departments"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242298","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=242298"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242298\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/242299"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=242298"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=242298"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=242298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
