Does Global Entry transfer to new visa?

[Cogitoergosum 10]

Hi, I have a B1/B2 visa which was issued a few years back. I got global entry a year ago. A few days back, I was issued a new CR-1 and entered the US with it. Does anyone know whether I can use global entry with a green card automatically now or do I need to make any changes? I was told that maybe I need a global entry card, but I thought you only need the card if you enter the US by land. Thanks all.

you have to contact global entry and let them know of the changes.

It is highly unlikely you can use GE when you enter the USA on your CR-1.  

 

Furthermore, after you enter the USA, at POE, you will get an I-551 stamp on your passport. Aside from this being yet another reason why you cannot use GE for your first entrance to the USA after getting a CR-1, your will not be allowed to use GE again until you have an actual green card. The reason is that lawful permanent residents are required to enter the USA on their I-551 and the only form of I-551 the GE kiosks accept is the green card.  Unfortunately GE cards are largely useless.  

 

One you get a green card, go to the nearest GE office and ask to have your green card entered into the system. Also ask if to be shown how to use a green card with a kiosk. It is much different than using a passport and most first timer GE users with green cards at POE have lots of problems.  

 

Also, when you get your first state ID or DL, log into your online account and add those.  

 

Finally those of you with GE and want to take your spouses name may have a real dilemma.  Because your passenger ticket will be in your passport name and your green card will be in your spouses name, the GE kiosk might reject you at future points of entry.   I believe that eventually, whether the green card holder has GE or not, that the USA will require green card holders to fly with ticket issued in the green card holders name.

GE is linked to a passport.   

 

The first time you enter on your CR1 go thru the Foreign line to get processed.

 

After that log into GOES and verify your account status.     If you get a new passport you can update that too.
