U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) offers a suite of mobile applications (apps) to help expedite a traveler's entry into the United States and an app to help prospective applicants track their status through the hiring process.
CBP Border Wait Times
The CBP Border Wait Times (BWT) app provides you with estimated wait times for reaching the primary inspection booth, the first point of contact with CBP when crossing the U.S./Canada and U.S./Mexico land borders. Each border location updates its estimated wait times hourly.
CBP Jobs
The CBP Jobs mobile app allows all users to find upcoming recruitment events, read media releases, follow CBP social media channels, and watch recruitment videos. After receiving a temporary job offer, frontline applicants - CBP officer, Border Patrol agent, Air Interdiction agent, Marine Interdiction agent and Agricultural Specialist - can log in to check the status of their application and receive important notifications about upcoming appointments and next steps right at their fingertips.
Mobile Passport
The Mobile Passport app allows U.S. citizens and Canadian passport holders (on B1 or B2 visas) to submit their passport information and customs declaration information via their smartphone or tablet and bypass the regular line to enter the United States. The app doesn't require pre-approval and is free to use.
