给坛友们提个醒,如果你的Global Entry五年快到期了,一定要在到期前去网站申请续约:
“log onto the Trusted Traveler Programs (TTP) System website at https://ttp.dhs.gov/ to submit your renewal application. The TTP system has replaced the Global Online Enrollment System (GOES).”
只要到期前提交续约申请并付款,就可以继续使用原卡,Grace period 延长到一年,这期间续约申请肯定能批准了。无缝衔接。
Due to a significant increase in application volume, U.S. Customs and Border Protection is extending the grace period from 6 months to 1 year for any Trusted Traveler member who has a valid membership and who has submitted a renewal application. This means you will continue to receive full benefits for 1 year while U.S. Customs and Border Protection is finalizing your renewal application.
我犯了错,提醒我renewal的email发到我旧的弃用的account上,没看见。直到去年秋天从巴黎回来,家人刷脸能过,我怎么也不行。纳闷啊:我春天从意大利回来还刷脸成功,这半年我就老到机器不认识的地步了?
边上工作人员拿过我的卡一看:过期啦!
到期后再续,就是无穷无尽的等待。我在Reddit上看到一片抱怨声,有人说等了八个多月了,请当地议员写信了,还是遥遥无期。唉,既然Grace Period 有一年,估计他们的速度就是照着一年去了~我只能干等了。
想到了,话痨一下。大家周末愉快!
