US Global Entry Program for Australian citizens [from 2025]

EoA is easily the most convenient option once you're conditionally approved. The main thing is to verify that the airport you're flying into offers it and to account for some extra time for the interview—you don't want to be rushed if there’s a line.

The US is in a partial government shutdown with no funding for DHS.
DHS is will be shutting down Global Entry and TSA Precheck until their is a funding agreement DHS says it's suspending TSA PreCheck and Global Entry due to shutdown

For those with interviews at Sydney - I don’t think it’ll affect them as it’s run by the consulate official Department of State staff and not DHS.

EoA on the other hand and ofc normal Global Entry will have issues. But MPC should still be available.

Hello everyone,
Finally after 10 weeks, i have been conditionally approved.

I would like to know if i can enter my PASSID / KTN into domestic US flight bookings? Even though i am not fully approved for Global Entry ?

And how is the enrollment on arrival situation in SFO ?
Are there clear signs that point you to the interview area etc ?
Thank you in advance.

Conditional approval does not grant any rights to use Global entry or Pre Check.
You need to be fully approved first before the KTN will be recognised.

Are you in Sydney? If so, the mobile enrollment team are still at Hyatt Regency tomorrow so see if you can register for an appointment today if there is slots available in tomorrows schedule.
