UK Background Check for US Global Entry
Hi All,
Over 3 weeks ago I submitted via the gov.uk website the application for a UK background check so that I could proceed with the US Global Entry application.
fast forward to today and I am yet to receive an email about it with a code. I did however receive an email straight after applying to say payment had been taken.
Has anyone else been delayed at this step before and if so, is there somebody that I can contact regarding this.
I am a dual Aussie/Brit passport holder and have only visited the UK once, does that make any difference?
Thanks in advance!

When I did it pre covid I got the UK response in <24 hours - it was the quickest part of the process.

Re: UK Background Check for US Global Entry
If I had a contact I wouldn’t be on here. The link is useless because it’s a UK issue and there is no contact for the team that processes the UK background check.

I would expect serious delays, if they can do it at all.

Re: UK Background Check for US Global Entry
This seems like it would be a major problem. How are the UK going to vet you if you have never lived there? I doubt they can verify addresses, work history, etc. in Oz. GE is very invasive, so leaving stones unturned is not an option.

The AU program seems more onerous, not dug in to any details, it may be business travel only as well: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/ente...lian-citizens#

Re: UK Background Check for US Global Entry
Sorry to slightly hijack - but do you get anything *other* than the code when your background check is complete?
Is there a document or something to print off and take to the interview? All I can find is my code.
