If you are a conditionally approved global entry applicant, but it is difficult to schedule an interview because there is no availability of your closest admission center or the next available date.
On the first Monday of each month, at 9 a.m. local time, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Department of Homeland Security Trusted Traveler Program released new interview appointment slots for arrangements at the admission center. The dating slot is accessible via the applicant’s TTP dashboard.

Number of admissions
Applicants with conditional approval can also complete the interview process when returning from abroad to the United States through the arrival service of CBP.
Instead of formal interviews at the Admissions Center, you can complete the admission process for one of 16 international or 52 U.S. airport locations during a part of your trip home.
To complete this process, you will head to the passport control area just like you would when you return to the United States after an international trip. From there, follow the airport sign for “arrival” on the lane “enrollment”. If you don’t see these flags, please ask the CBP proxy. The agent will complete your interview during your acceptability check.
Double check The service will be open during your arrival as EOA interviews are limited to certain times.
Starting to school
Similar to the EOA, the service allows conditionally approved global entry applicants to complete interviews before departing for domestic or international flights to certain airports.
EOD is currently available at Gate B, 41, Hall at Dulles International Airport (IAD) in Washington, D.C. and at Level 2 Concourse J, opposite Lufthansa (MIA) at Miami International Airport (MIA). Dulles’ EOD is open from noon to 8 pm every day, while Miami Airport’s EOD is open from 8 a.m. to 6 pm Monday to Saturday

For EOA and EOD, travelers must carry a valid passport and documents proof of residence, such as a driver’s license with current address, mortgage statement, rent payment statement or utility bill, and a permanent resident card (if applicable).
Last minute/date
Applicants often cancel scheduled interviews, especially on date day. If you are unable to get the interview slot in the first Monday release, check the online scheduler regularly to see last minute vacancy due to cancellation.
Paid Alert Service
Don’t have time to check public dates frequently? If traditional scheduling routes don’t get the required global inbound interview appointments, consider trying a third-party alert service, such as an appointment scanner or global entrance.
Appointment Scanner is based on last-minute cancellations and newly released appointments, charges a one-month alert (up to 25 per day) for up to $29, available at your choice of three admission centers. You can receive alerts as text messages or emails (or both). It won’t update automatically. If you want to continue after one month, you will need to purchase another month.
Although “you cannot guarantee that you can schedule an interview, it will refund any unsatisfied clients within 30 days.
A one-time fee of $25 for viewers at the Global Entrance to use for unlimited SMS alerts at up to three locations. Most travelers get an appointment within a few days of registration; however, the service does not have a set time period. You will receive a text message alert until you book an appointment and opt out.
Remember that these services will only inform you of appointment availability. They don’t make an appointment for you. You still need to arrange your own appointment, so be sure to act quickly when you receive an alert that is right for you.
Bottom line
The first Monday date release of each month can help travelers who have applied for entry globally to use it faster, especially for admission center locations that tend to be less available. Even so, the date does book quickly.
If you have not applied and plan to do so, use a credit card that covers a non-refundable application fee of USD 120 for entry worldwide. If you already have a global entry, you can also use this credit to cover other people’s membership.
As a reminder, CBP releases a new appointment on the first Monday of each month (including September 1).
