Does anyone else out there have Global Entry?

If so did you use it to get to the front of the line when bringing your Fiance/Spouse to the US?

You will not both be able to submit customs declarations at a Global Entry kiosk. I'm not aware of any provision in the Global Entry program that would allow you to jump in front of the line at the customs counter. The intention of the program is to allow you to clear customs more quickly using the Global Entry kiosk, and not to intentionally inconvenience other travelers who must clear customs the conventional way.

If you wish, you could use your Global Entry membership to clear customs at the Global Entry kiosk, while your fiance waits in line at the customs counter with everyone else. Or, you could stand in line with your fiance and clear customs together. Either way, you're going to wait for your fiance.

Thanks Jim.

I knew we can't both use the kiosk because we aren't married. Under normal circumstances, if the kiosk is out of order, you flash the the little 'CBP' sticker they put in the back of your passport and it works to get you to the front of the line.

I was wondering if it would work with my fiance? Last time I entered in ATL the traffic guy told me we should both go through the visitors line (which I now understand is wrong) and the guy didn't seem to know what to do about Global Entry.

When I enter agin, next week, I'll see if I get a better answer.
