Video instructions and help with filling out and completing online global entry application form

So I've learned in my two years as Ambassador here in the UK that the British people are good at many things and queuing is one of them but what I've also learned talking to my British friends who travel 2, 3, 4 sometimes five times a year or more to the U.S. for travel that sometimes it can be as one of them put it a little bit inconvenient to wait on these long queues first immigration and then again at customs. So I have some good news for the first time British passport holders are eligible to become members of our global entry system meaning that they can sidestep the queues at immigration and sidestep the queues at customs so if you give me the next two minutes I will explain the three simple steps that will allow you to sidestep these queues in the future Step one go to this website which is run by the British government and what you'll need is your passport you'll need your bank card you will pay a one-time 42 pound fee and that whole process of filling that out we'll take you about 10 minutes and then you wait to hear back that will probably take around a week or so and at the end of step one they will give you a special access code. Step two you take that special access code and you go to this website this is an American government website there you bring your passport again you bring your bank card. You'll pay a 100 US Dollar fee that will cover you for five years you also need to provide the information about, for the last five years of where you lived where you've worked and where you've traveled this takes a bit longer this takes about 30 minutes online to fill out all that information. Then you click Submit and you wait around two weeks and now on to the final step this is where we get to meet face-to-face well technically not me and you, but you will meet with one of the members of our Customs and Border Protection Team this is where we do the final interview you bring in your passport we do the fingerprint thing now there are two ways you can do the interview two places you can do the interview. The first is in the United States when you're next visiting you set up an interview at the airport or this winter we will be sending what are called Mobile enrollment teams they're coming here to the UK so you can do your interview here. Come in do the fingerprints and you leave that interview ready to go you'll be in the system and move on. No more queues.
