Global Entry interview wait times by center, updated every hour

Questions

How long is the wait for a Global Entry interview right now?

As of November 12, 2026 at 8:12 PM ET, 97 of 153 permanent Global Entry enrollment centers have an interview within 7 days; the longest wait is 75 days at Eagle Pass, TX, and at 20 centers the next opening is more than 2 weeks away. The wait depends on the center, so the table above is sorted by days out.

Why does the wait differ so much between centers?

Each enrollment center sets its own interview schedule and draws its own demand, so one center can have openings this week while another is booked for months. The table shows what CBP's public scheduler lists right now. It is not a forecast.

How is this different from scalping?

We never book or hold a slot, and we never sell one. We only notify you that an earlier slot opened, and you book it yourself on the official CBP Trusted Traveler Programs site. EarlierNow is not affiliated with CBP or DHS.

What if I get an alert but miss the slot?

A watch is refunded only if we send no alert before it ends, so an alert you miss is not refunded. The watch keeps alerting until it ends (at most one alert per hour), so a later opening still reaches you.

How do I get an earlier Global Entry interview?

Find a center you can reach in the table and book on the official Trusted Traveler Programs site. Cancellations open slots at any time of day, and a new slot is often gone again within minutes. If your center's next opening is more than 2 weeks away, a watch ($19) emails you within minutes (we check every 4 minutes) when an earlier slot opens, and texts you if you opt in. You book it yourself. Full refund if we send no alert before the watch ends.
