Was in and out of the whole procedure in less than 15 minutes. (Oddly, they were all more interested in my rings on my fingers than anything else.)
Got back to the hotel and received an email about four hours later that my GOES status had changed. Logged in and I had been approved.
Got home yesterday from Seattle and found my NEXUS card waiting for me at home. Looks like it arrived in less than four days.
Applied about 15 minutes ago for GE and got an email about 5 minutes later saying my GOES status had changed again and - voila - had GE approval.
NEXUS and GE for $50.00. A bargain.
If I recall correctly, those that apply for GE without Nexus get approved at their interview, and get a sticker put in their passport.
Did they mail you your GE sticker and have you place it yourself, or do you still need to make an appointment for them to do that part?
