1. Don't worry about it. I've used GE many times and have never been asked to show my sticker. Incidentally, I'm in the same boat as you--a NEXUS member who got GE membership via GOES. I went to a CBP office to pick up my sticker and the officer almost giggled at me as he handed a couple over. It made me think that they don't really check for them, and IME, they haven't.

2. You should insert only your Green Card into the GE kiosk.

3. Press HARD when the machine is taking your digital fingerprints; otherwise you'll have a longer wait to get a good capture.

4. Relax! Enjoy!
