Global Entry is the best. Scan, walk out. 2 minutes. At LAX you also get the schadenfreude view of both citizens and foreigners schlepping through long lines.

For $20/y you can feel 10% superior to other American citizens every time you re-enter the country.

But yeah GlobalEntry is killer even for non-residents. Mostly got it for TSAPre but turns out I can still go and performatively “scan” though it prints out a big X - get fast-tracked through the backup officer.

😂 I think anyone who’s been through the US immigration system would sympathize.
I hated it and I never had to do F1 or OPT. Immigration professionals would recommend that I just get married to a U.S. citizen already.
Things have gotten much worse now. 18yr waits?

There are another 200+ countries out there and the majority have better quality of life.

Plus its only $15 more than Pre-Check, and pre-check is included. Also the ID card works for checking in and going through TSA (prevent losing your DL). Also, many credit cards pay for it.

Even with a foreign one + global entry you’re faster than anyone w/out it incl citizens
