Getting into the United States after landing at an airport can be an arduous and sometimes frustrating process for foreign nationals. Lines to check visas, green cards and passports are often long and burdensome. If, however, one is eligible to enroll in the Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Global Entry membership, these long wait times can be significantly reduced.
The Global Entry membership allows U.S. citizens, U.S. lawful permanent residents, and citizens of certain countries listed on the CBP’s website to have expedited clearance and enter the United States through automated kiosks. In order to qualify, travelers must be pre-approved and considered low risk by US CBP.
Oftentimes, applications for programs such as Global Entry can be time consuming and tedious. Our staff at Wildes & Weinberg has a lot of experience in these matters and we have successfully handled countless Global Entry Applications. We do so by assisting clients with the complicated registration process and ensure that all required documents are properly assembled. We pride ourselves on building a personal relationship with every client, and at Wildes & Weinberg, you can be sure that your matter will receive the personal attention it deserves.
