給壇友們提個醒,如果你的Global Entry五年快到期了,一定要在到期前去網站申請續約:
“log onto the Trusted Traveler Programs (TTP) System website at https://ttp.dhs.gov/ to submit your renewal application. The TTP system has replaced the Global Online Enrollment System (GOES).”
隻要到期前提交續約申請並付款,就可以繼續使用原卡,Grace period 延長到一年,這期間續約申請肯定能批準了。無縫銜接。
Due to a significant increase in application volume, U.S. Customs and Border Protection is extending the grace period from 6 months to 1 year for any Trusted Traveler member who has a valid membership and who has submitted a renewal application. This means you will continue to receive full benefits for 1 year while U.S. Customs and Border Protection is finalizing your renewal application.
我犯了錯,提醒我renewal的email發到我舊的棄用的account上,沒看見。直到去年秋天從巴黎回來,家人刷臉能過,我怎麽也不行。納悶啊:我春天從意大利回來還刷臉成功,這半年我就老到機器不認識的地步了?
邊上工作人員拿過我的卡一看:過期啦!
到期後再續,就是無窮無盡的等待。我在Reddit上看到一片抱怨聲,有人說等了八個多月了,請當地議員寫信了,還是遙遙無期。唉,既然Grace Period 有一年,估計他們的速度就是照著一年去了~我隻能幹等了。
想到了,話癆一下。大家周末愉快!
