Thanks for the clarification; I may give it a shot.

At risk of bumping old info to the top of the forum, I was wondering if anyone had any recent issues with going from Nexus to GE. Can Nexus users use GE without the "sticker" or do they still need to go into a GE office and get a sticker added?

The sticker is not required for using the GE kiosks EXCEPT when entering the USA at ORD. For some reasons, the CBP officers at ORD always want to check the sticker. So, as long as you use another port of entry, you should be fine.

The next time you find yourself near a GE enrollment office, just stop by (no appointment needed) and an officer will affix a sticker to your passport. It takes just a minute or two!

I have not entered ORD, but DTW, JFK, ATL, and LAX so far. No sticker required. (I have only applied for NEXUS but GE has worked for me in all these locations. It has also worked for me at YYZ and YEG)

ORD is notable for requiring the sticker, so it is not surprising that you did not need it at those other airports.

I think I have arrived ORD and used GE 4 times. I had 2 sticker checks and 2 no checks, but the no-checks did match my photo page to my kiosk receipt.

In response to post #76. There is no Nexus enrollment center on the Michigan/Ontario border that does Iris scans. I live in Detroit and looked. Also, there is no machine at Windsor, London, or Sault Ste Marie airports. I checked. The Peace Bridge Center is an exception.

I got NEXUS at YVR first in 2007 (exp. Dec. 2012) but then NEXUS was not recognized by GE system, so I applied for GE, paid full GE fee, and approved in 2009. I had a GE interview at LAX and got a CBP sticker on my US green card.

GOES website had showed two expiration dates, one for NEXUS and one for GE for a while, but then it started showing only one eixration date (Dec. 2012) for "Trusted Traveler Program" which is NEXUS I believe at some point. GOES doesn't show GE expiration date anymore.

I will have a NEXUS interview at Seattle center near Boeing for NEXUS card replacement in November. I was told by an officer at the center when I called that my NEXUS is already offline because of the lost card status, but GE is still online. Actually I still keep using GE with no problem since I applied for the NEXUS card replacement.

Q1. Is it possible that I still have my GE membership separately?
Q2. My NEXUS will expire in Dec, but I will have the interview for NEXUS card reissue in Nov. Is it going to be a renewal interview, too?

People talk about the process as almost divorced. When I got Nexus, I asked what was needed to get Global Entry as well. Canadian Officer doing my interview said he could do most of it for me. He entered the data online, gave me the sticker, but told me that a GE center would have to do the fingerprint scan. I stopped by the Detroit Center (without an appointment) and they did it for me and five minutes. I deliberately picked a slow time and there was no hassle. I still need to get the Iris scan done, but I have not entered Canada by air in six years. Conversely, I crossed land borders probably fifty times in the same time period.
