Global Entry questions travelers actually ask
Why is Global Entry different from the official estimate?
Official estimates are broad benchmarks. Individual waits can vary because of missing documents, identity checks, appointment availability, workload, and local office capacity.
When should I trust waits shared by readers?
Use waits shared by readers as context once enough similar people have shared their experience. Official agency messages should still come first.
