Adding vehicle to Sentri
I am thinking about adding a vehicle to my sentry pass; does anyone know how long does the approval process take? Also, the vehicle has tinted
windows-do I have to remove the tint?

Log into your "GOES" account. Kinda tricky finding the tab to add a vehicle.
Anyway - my recent add:
Dec 23 Submitted the information to add a new vehicle
Dec 24 Received email notification that information received and I needed to schedule an appointment. Only can schedule on-line.
Crazy waits for appointments - earliest I got was Feb. 11 at Otay Mesa (If I was willing to go to San Luis AZ, it was just a few days, Calexico was
maybe a week less than Otay)
Jan 15 - heard that if you call the Otay office (619) 690-7600 with your appointment number, they can check their system for cancelled appointments.
Did, and they had a bunch available for the 20th.
Jan 20 - 745AM appointment, got in at around 710AM, all done by 745AM. 3 weeks less than my scheduled appointment.
==
so moral of the story if doing your SENTRI at Otay - once you get your appointment, give it a few days and call over to check openings

NOTE - coworker went online to schedule his vehicle add on today.
Clicked on appointments - both Otay and San Ysidro were Full. Not taking applications. Clicked back on Otay, and an available appointment popped up
for tomorrow morning.
Weird system. Seems buggy

I added a vehicle today.
For future people trying to do this:
1. Log into GOES
2. Click on "Trusted Traveler Program" link, at center left bottom of page.
3. Click on BLUE "US PROGRAMS" and click "add vehicle".
Follow instructions, pay, and schedule an appointment.

I'm a Global Entry member, but I've never separately applied for SENTRI (do I need to?). Following your instructions, when I click on the "US
Programs" button, it only gives me the option of applying for an APEC business card.
Also, when I click the SENTRI information link indicated by the red arrow below, it leads to a dead "oops" sort of page.
I can't for the life of me figure out how to apply for SENTRI or to add a vehicle and thus get an appointment for inspection...

application.

If you have global entry you don't need to separately apply for Sentri. The Global entry gives you Sentri benefits. Use your Global Entry Card just
like a Sentri card.
You do need to add a vehicle. It should be doable on the goes system. That is how I did mine. although I can't remember the exact way I did it I
don't remember it being hidden.

After my online application for a new vehicle was accepted (taking about a week), I was able to get an appointment the following week for the
inspection. It was a 7AM appointment, which really sucked. I got a hotel in Otay the night before to make sure I made it on time. Didn't matter, as
they made me wait 45 minutes for them to take a 30 second look at my vehicle. Just kidding DHS!! I love you.
Just posting to keep this thread current with the latest wait times.

3 to 6 months is a frickin' long time just to get the application signed off! Last time I did it, it took a few weeks to get the application approved
and then two months to get an appointment.

Took me 2 weeks for application approval. Guessing you will have yours accepted any day now. Then scheduled appointment.

Tecatero - I was able to add my pickup truck with Baja plates to Sentri. My appointment was at Otay. They did a cursory vehicle inspection and I was
on my way.

I am really pleased that my conditional approval came yesterday (4/28/15) after a wait of about a month, and they had appointments in Otay available
TODAY 4/29/15
So it took a month to add a car.
