Once approved, is there any way to pay another $50 to convert the application to Global Entry and do an interview locally, or would I have to let my Nexus application expire and start over with the full $100 fee?
You applied June 6? My young child applied for Nexus in April, $0 fee, was conditionally approved in May, and in July, cancelled the Nexus appointment, saw the button to convert to GE appear immediately, paid the $100 fee to apply to GE, and was almost immediately (1 hour) was conditionally approved for GE.
