Found this new app for iphone or android that is approved by CBP. I am going to try this for Oct/Nov trip, as our Global Entry final interview isn't until April of 2017. Here is the link to that website: http://mobilepassport.us/

Yup. It's been around for a while. But it looks like they have added many more airports!

Sammy, why is your interview for Global Entry so far off? That seems like such a long time.

I live 55 miles from Boston, and the first available date that they had was April. Warwick had the first week in November, but we will be on island during that time. Aince we won't have global entry before our fall trip, why rush it and go when we want to. We figured with mobile pass, that we would not have a long wait at JFK upon our return.

Is there any advantage to getting/using the mobile app if you *do* have Global Entry? Doesn't seem like there would be but figured I'd ask.

No, there is no reason to use the app if you have global entry.

It looks like the Mobile pass needs to be filled out right before traveling??? Is this right?

No, you submit the data about your trip when you arrive in the US. The app will then display a pass containing a 2d barcode that will be valid for 4 hours. You'll scan that in front of the immigration officer and in front of customs officer. They still will ask you questions about your trip. It basically just makes your declaration electronic instead of filling out the paper form.

You would need to fill out the profile information before submitting the data, but that doesn't take too long.

In Miami, you don't fill out any paper form any more, regardless. You answer the questions at the kiosk.

With Miami though if you use the app versus the kiosk, they have a separate line for those with the app. It is right by the global entry line. I used the app in Miami before having Global Entry and the app line was just a little slower than those with Global Entry.
