Drove and drove and drove, and finally caught up with the Sentri line - 6 cars in front of me - looked at the time: 11:04am. At the last minute the line split off into 2 Sentri booths, drove up to the booth and handed him my card - he looked at it, looked at the computer and waved me through - looked at the clock again: 11:08.

4 minutes to cross the border - doesn't get much better than that!

TOOK Makobob 1hour and 44 minutes to cross on this trip.
I did my application on 12 December.
Still waiting Application waiting review. EXPECT to set dates for interview in next couple of weeks.

So I will be Sentri less for a while, BUT these trips are easy with or without the Sentry, I just get a few hours more in paradise. Too bad it is spent waiting in line.

MY KAYAK WILL ARRIVE SOON!!!! My boat will come in? My sentri is coming, but for now still WAITING.

Tight Lines amigos.

My original earliest appointment was on March14th.

Then luckily as I checked their Calendar on a daily basis, I was able to find a cancelation and moved it to Feb 10th.

I still check it often to see if I can move it closer yet.

Only takes 5 minutes to register a DRONE, but MONTHS to get a Sentri...........

PASSED THE INTERVIEW.

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

[MrPukaShell]

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

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...
