Hi there,

 

I am coming with a new question, this time for a friend. She is from Argentina and the possibility of applying for Global entry has just opened up. She is planning on applying for a CR1 through her husband in July. Would having global entry, assuming she is accepted, help her in any way expedite/avoid AP type delays in the CR1 process? I know there is no automatic link but she was thinking maybe it would make her look less "risky"..? This is the only reason why she would apply for it as she isnt planning on flying to the US until obtaining the visa. 

 

I know it's a weird question but I would love to hear your input.

I don't see the benefit. The whole purpose of global entry is to make it faster to get through the CBP process faster at the entry point for those of us who travel internationally on a regular basis.

 

I don't think it would have a significant bearing on the likelyhood of the cr-1 visa being approved. It would likely only have the potential to speed up the CBP process a little when entering with the visa. However, she would still have to go to secondary, so it would only reduce the wait in line to get to the first CBP officer.

 

Also, I don't think there are any enrollment centers in Argentina. So she would have to enter the US just to enroll.

First and foremost, Global Entry will not in anyway expedite anything related to immigration cases.

 

Now that that is out of the way...

You can also get TSA precheck with Global Entry. So it doesn't have to be an international flight for you to get through security check fast. I gotta admit I love TSA precheck. Don't have to take off my shoes nor stand in the genital scanner.

Yes, there are many great benefits of Global Entry/TSA precheck. My life/travel got infinitely easier once I joined. :dancing:

 

My focus was on its relationship to the visa process and entry on said visa.
