I had to get a ACPO certificate saying there was "No Trace" of me on the Police National Computer as well as some photos, upload copies of my Passport and Driving license as well as a few other bits and bobs like proof of residency here in the UK like a mortgage/rental contract, company salary slips, household bills, bank statements.
I then flew over to SFO for the interview. I was a little worried about it, but in reality it wasn't a big deal. I think it was so early in the program, when I went to the Enrolment centre in SFO, the CBP chap had never processed a non US citizen before so I just sat there quietly whilst he inputted all the data in, took a brief look at all my documentation then got all of my fingerprints and said thanks very much you are now enrolled and enjoy Global Entry.
It wasn't until I was going a Virgin America flight did I realise I can enter my Known Traveller number also gets me TSA-Pre Check which at the time, wasn't a published benefit. It's something they mention a lot now, that GE also gets you TSA-Pre which depending on how much you travel inside the US, can be very useful. Unless your getting the first wave of flights out of MCO airport and the TSA-Pre line was much longer than the standard line at 5:30am!
