I just wish that they would make a statement about this on their website or somewhere. Eric has asked Henrietta Alexander (point blank) if they were allowed and she explicitly said, "no!" I have asked the same question to Lynette Harrigan with a bunch of buts...it's proctored, it's a CLIA lab, etc. and she still said they are not allowed. I also emailed the BVIAA Welcome Center and they too say they aren't allowed, but then people use them and have no problem. It just makes it so confusing. I guess maybe I should reframe my question to be, "Would someone be denied entry if they came with the Binax Now test results?" They have made a statement and have answered you thru several means. If anyone needs an absolute answer, then it's no. If you're willing to take some risk for the convenience of not going to CVS then the answer is maybe. This is very similar to the connection time in SJU question. The level of risk I'm willing to assume is higher than some travelers. I have all the travel aids (global entry, TSA pre-check, top tier frequent flyer status, etc) in place to make it as smooth and fast as possible but it could still go wrong if I book a 60 minute connection. Other people are only comfortable if they have 3 hours. I'd suggest getting a test at CVS (also not approved) if you are at all risk adverse so you don't have to worry about it.
