My process was fast!
I submitted on 4/27/16
Application approved 05/02/16
Interview date 05/10/16

Based on the location of your interview can greatly reduce the wait time. I drove to Calexico for mine because I could schedule my interview in one week. I was hoping to go to Long Beach or LAX but the wait was 5 months.

Hashem, this is not good for Canada border crossings, they have their own program called Nexus.

One other option is the Ready Lane, if you have a passport card you can use that lane. It's faster than the regular lanes but not as fast as the Sentri Lane.

And TSA Pre is great which is part of the Global Entry Program

Thank you all for the information you have provided.

Much appreciated.

I live next to LAX, it may be worth the wait depending on the timing of the interview.


I am already planning of a cattle boat outing, if I have to go to SD.

With a first name like Hashem, born in Tehran, Iran (not eye-ran) I am sure there will be some extensive background checking.

No problem though. I have nothing to hide.

E ran, so now you too can wait.

In just 4 days about 1/2 this trip is already booked. So talk to YOUR bosses and get your name on the list. Best time of the year to be in Baja, what are you waiting for???

KAI????? This trips for YOU.
