Earlier this year the Department of Homeland Security suspended Global Entry enrollments and renewals for New York residents, and that’s now being undone.

@Ben - The changes to the so-called “green light” law was completely covered. The government admitted In its lawsuit on the issue and was forced to change the policy.
The real reason DHS relented is because they lied about the entire thing from the beginning.

"The Department of Homeland Security disclosed in a court filing that it had made false statements to justify the ban."
I wonder what your fox news supported readership will make of this.
Now New Yorkers can join the rest of us in the impossible quest to book a renewal appointment!
Well I just tried to renew my membership and the system still won't let me proceed with a NY address...
Same here. As soon as this ban was lifted, I reapplied for renewal. The website is still not allowing NY addresses through as of 1:32pm EST on 7/24.
I'm not surprised the Feds lied and were caught lying. Was clear right from the start when people pointed out they weren't stopping other states GE eligibility even though they had identical laws.
But does anyone really think they will just turn on applications immediatly?
It's the government and they are quicker at stopping things than starting them up again!
You mean the most dishonest and untrustworthy US government leadership of all time was actually lying in this case? Shocked, truly shocked.
Where does someone as unctuous and slimy and dishonest as Chad Wolf get a job after this administration?
K Street won’t have him back, and no legit corporation would want him.
Look at Kirstjen Nielsen - she still hasn't landed a real job.

Ditto. I tried this morning to continue with my application that I started in October 2018 and immediately kicked myself once the ban was put in place. But I am a professional procrastinator sadly so I'm always honing those skills.
I even called Customs and Border Patrol Friday am to find out when someone was going to flip the switch so we NYers could continue with our applications. I was told another announcement would be made as it obviously wasn't an immediate lifting of the ban.
Posts on flyer talk state the the switch has been flipped or the knob has been turned and applications are now open again
Of course they will just join a very long existing queue...
