If only I could see a video like yours specifically for us Indians while I was applying, it would have been so much smoother. I just got mine today and the whole process took 6 months for me. Also if you are not a citizen or PR holder, you don’t get a card. I asked the officer, he said that known traveler number is all you need. You can use that for complimentary TSA pre check and in older global entry kiosks that are not face recognition based.

And yes, learned pretty soon after, that there won’t be any cards for us. Yet to use the TSA Precheck benefit. Hopefully soon 🤞

Time saved by enrolling to Global entry: 2 hours Time spent for the entire process: 20 hours

I know that you went through with the in-person application process, but do you know anything about the mail application method? I’m specifically trying to figure out what kind of return label I need to provide to VFS. They said it must be prepaid, not fedex, and no expiration. Not sure what most people do and whether I need to include an envelope/package for them to use with that prepaid label.

@@elizanfisher Hi, I cannot say for sure but usually you do need to send a return envelope for such things. This envelope would have your prepaid return label on it and it would go in the envelope that you would use for sending your documents. Have you tried emailing VFS? That would be the ultimate source of truth, I think.

Hi Anisha. Thanks for such a detailed video... I completed my application and submitted my documents via mail. My police verification is also done in India, which is what I heard from my parents. But I dont see any communication from the Passport Seva/Police about completion of Police Verification. Do they not send any notification ? Also, at what stage did you get your documents back from VFS ? Thanks

Your next communication should be the conditional approval, which takes the longest. This is what my experience was. You don’t get your documents back. They were just copies, so VFS retains them. All you get now is the decision from the CBP.

Hey Anisha, Loved your content.. I have couple of questions hope you can help: - In the application form, do we need to just provide the signature or both (the left thumb impression/signature)? - While sending the application to vfs (via mail) do we need send any cashier check ?

I am thinking this is only a requirement in specific cases. 2) I ended up going in person, but doesn’t VFS collect all the fees at the time of application completion? A cashier’s check for what fee exactly?

Hi, great video. Do you know if H1B expiry date plays any role in application? My current stamp expires in Dec 2024 but I will eventually get an extension in couple of months so wondering if I should wait until I get the new stamp?

@MyCCMoves

Ай бұрын

@@lordcthulhu8928 Hi, thank you :) I don’t think H1B expiration date plays a role here. If you change statuses, then you do need to make sure your GE profile reflects the most current status. This is done by seeing an officer in person. To be safe, however, you could see an officer about your new H1B stamp (after you go through GE lanes at an airport, post-approval) and make sure that everything looks good.

@MyCCMoves

Ай бұрын

Hello! Happy to help! I think they just check for identity and address proof so if your parents have your Aadhar Card, I think that should suffice. If there is a passbook/checkbook with your name and address, then that could help too. Other than that, the police officer would likely ask basic questions on your whereabouts. You won’t need to present any other key documents that you have with you in the US.

If you are concerned, you can email the TTP / CBP folks and get a confirmation from them.
