Global Entry Interview Success Rates by Location

Short answer: CBP does not publish official “success rates by location.” Approval at the interview depends on your application, your background, and the officer’s determination-not on which enrollment center you use. So there’s no public data showing “you’re more likely to get approved at Center A than Center B.” What does vary by location is how soon you can get an interview, and that changes daily at every center. Check the live wait times board, choose a center you can get to, then focus on being prepared for the interview. See common interview questions and Why Did My Global Entry Application Get Denied?.

Approval Is About You, Not the Center

Interview “success” (approval) is based on your eligibility, your answers, and CBP’s standards-not on the geographic location of the center. Officers at every center follow the same rules. So “success rates by location” isn’t something CBP publishes, and there’s no reliable public dataset that shows one center approving more or fewer applicants than another.

What Does Vary by Location

What varies is availability: how far out the next open slot is. That depends on the center and the day, not on a fixed ranking. A large airport center can have open dates this week while a small center has none, and the reverse. So “where you’re more likely to get approved” isn’t the right question. The right question is “where can I get an interview soonest?” Here is the current picture across the centers TTPRadar tracks:
