I certainly agree that the Nexus benefits are better than GE, but I’m wondering if there’s any downside to applying for a newborn if the rest of her family only have GE. Would it make sense?
For example— We won’t be able to drive across the border, because the rest of us only have Global Entry and won’t qualify to apply for Nexus for another year (3 year minimum residence rule). With the processing times and our remaining year of residency to tick down, I’m assuming that could be at least 1.5 - 2 years from now before the rest of us get it.
Whereas with GE, my son was conditionally approved and then approved without any interview, possibly because his mum and dad already had it.
Just curious if it’s likely to help or hinder the application either way.
