Questions
Is WeAlert really free?
Yes. There's no paid tier, no account and no credit card: you enter an email, pick up to 5 enrollment centers, and every alert has a link to change or stop it.
How fast are the alerts?
We check CBP's official appointment scheduler every 30 seconds for each center you picked, so you usually hear about a new or earlier slot within a minute of it appearing. Openings at busy centers go quickly, so book as soon as the email lands.
Why does the scheduler say “no appointments available”?
It means every slot CBP has published for that center is booked. Slots reopen when people cancel or reschedule and when CBP publishes new dates, and those are what our alerts catch. More options are in our guide to getting an interview when nothing is available.
Can I book an interview before I'm conditionally approved?
No. CBP only lets you schedule an interview after it conditionally approves your application, and it says most applications are reviewed within 2 weeks while some take 12 months or longer (CBP).
Can I do the interview without an appointment?
Yes, once you're conditionally approved. Enrollment on Arrival lets you interview when you land in the U.S. from an international flight at participating airports, and Enrollment on Departure lets you do it before a flight at Miami (MIA) or Detroit (DTW). If you already had an enrollment-center appointment, CBP cancels it automatically after your on-arrival interview. See every Enrollment on Arrival airport (CBP).
I already have an appointment. Can I move it earlier?
Yes. When an alert comes in, reschedule to the earlier slot in your Trusted Traveler Programs account or the Trusted Traveler app; within 24 hours of an appointment, CBP says to call 1 (877) 227-5511 (CBP FAQ). Don't cancel without rebooking: CBP's scheduler warns that cancelling without rescheduling in time cancels your application.
When does CBP add new appointments?
In 2023 CBP said it releases new interview slots for enrollment centers on the first Monday of every month by 9 a.m. local time (CBP, Feb 2023). Cancellations reopen slots at any hour in between, which is why we check every 30 seconds.
What should I bring to the interview?
Your valid passport and another ID such as a driver's license; lawful permanent residents also bring their green card (CBP). Many centers also ask for proof of address, so check your center's page for its own instructions.
Do children need an interview, and do they pay?
Each applicant, including a child, schedules their own interview. Under-18s pay no fee if a parent or legal guardian is a member or has an application pending or conditionally approved; if no parent or guardian is a member, one must give permission and attend the child's interview (CBP FAQ).
Do I need another interview to renew?
Not necessarily: CBP says a renewal interview may not be necessary, and some conditionally approved renewing members can do it by video (CBP). You can renew up to a year before expiry, and if you apply before your membership expires you can keep using it for up to 24 months after the expiration date (CBP FAQ).
Why did my alerts stop?
After 5 alert emails your subscription pauses automatically, because most people have booked by then. Every alert shows its number (“alert 3 of 5”), and the link in any email reactivates you for another 5.
Is WeAlert part of CBP? Do you need my Trusted Traveler login?
No to both. WeAlert is an independent project that reads CBP's public appointment calendar; it never asks for your login and can't book for you, so you always book on ttp.cbp.dhs.gov or in the official Trusted Traveler app.
