Why I Built Appt Helper
Global Entry and SENTRI interviews don't wait. Now you don't have to either.
I'm Roberto Guido — software engineer, daily border commuter, SENTRI card holder. I know this crossing the way you know it: early mornings, unpredictable waits, and the particular frustration of watching a Global Entry or SENTRI interview appointment disappear before you can click it. When I needed my own Global Entry interview in San Diego, the calendar was locked for months. Appointments would appear and disappear in seconds. I realized the only people landing them were the ones refreshing constantly — and that's not a fair system, it's just an availability contest. So I built Appt Helper to watch the calendar for you. The moment a Global Entry or SENTRI interview appointment opens at your enrollment center, it lands on your phone. No refreshing, no luck, no fastest-finger competition. I keep it running because the problem hasn't changed — and your time is worth more than babysitting a government portal.
How we handle your data
We never log into your CBP Trusted Traveler account, and we never ask for your government login credentials. Appt Helper only watches the public appointment-availability page for the enrollment centers you choose and texts you the moment a slot opens — you book it yourself on the official CBP portal. See our Privacy Policy for the full breakdown of what we collect and why.
Backed by a 60-day money-back guarantee
If we don't find you a single bookable appointment in 60 days at the centers you selected, email us and we'll refund the full purchase. No forms, no friction, no fine print.
