PASSED THE INTERVIEW.

I WAS TOLD I SHOULD HAVE IT IN TWO WEEKS, THEN I HAVE TO ACTIVATE IT.

MrPukaShell · 02-11-2017, 03:25 AM

Yes activate it as soon as you get it. I forget who said it but you only have 30 days to activate and then you have to jump through hoops to get it done if you miss that window. Great news Hasheem

Look for complete "how-to" information post coming soon.

Thanks Robert.

It is in the information packet that they gave you.

Mahigeer · 02-11-2017, 10:45 AM

I can put an informative post regarding my experience with Sentri pass interview, how to get there, etc., BUT it will only relate to the San Ysidro location.

Is there enough interest here for it.

It will be time consuming, and before I spend the time, I like to know if anybody would like to see it.

I remember weighing the pros and cons of getting one vs the other when I applied and interviewed last year. Cheaper, faster to get, same benefits as SENTRI plus you get to use it at other countries expedited travel programs.

Its $20 more for a five year card. Thats 4 dollars a year. With added benefits. Sentri includes everything global entry does and more.

Going on nearly 2 months and no news on the GOES inbox front :/ Still a pending application from 01/04... Should i expect a denial soon here? (I'm not a criminal or anything that I know would disqualify me

) Or is it just that time of year and i should expect the approval any day here? Not that you're experts but shoot...

I applied 12 Dec, tentive approval 15 Feb, sentri meeting 23 Feb, Mine is in the mail and should be here around the 10th of March..

So your tentive approval should VERY SOON. Mine was 63 days.

defjack · 03-02-2017, 04:13 PM

Two months, Dont worry mine was like that for around four months. For some reason, they like approving some people faster than others. You'll still get it, as did I.

Brandon were you not working on base at the time, that would have slowed it down a week or two. When we going fishing again bud?

I actually was working on base at the time, so Im surprised I didnt get approved sooner. Could be my dual citizenship. I have a german passport as well, cant remember if I declared it or not. I need to make a deal on a new yak, then we will talk fishin! Already putting the bug in my boss's ear that Ill be out of town for a week in OCTOBER!

MrPukaShell · 03-03-2017, 03:41 AM

I already inked the calendar for two weeks in October. Liked the look on the bosses face when she saw that one.

makobob · 03-14-2017, 03:14 PM

10 March O'dark thirty left for Gonzaga, GREAT weather window. 85-90 degrees, no wind. Full Moon, 25 lb WSB caught at Punta Buefeo. Kitchen coming along really nice.

Just got home, wife said SENTRI arrived day I left. ACTIVATED.
And of course my wait at the Mexicali/Calexico was 14 minutes. But that should be my LAST LONG WAIT. Mexico here I come again. Leaving Sunday.

Tight Lines.
