Any dual citizens recently go through Global Entry Process?

Looking for any experiences of dual citizens who have recently gone through GE interview. Anything particularly noteworthy happen? Did formally identifying yourself as a dual citizen to the US cause you any angst? Most curious about U.S./Irish, but also curious about any recent experiences.

I am a USA/Swiss/Canadian citizen, just did it last week, no problem.

I didn't mention my Swiss citizenship (they didn't event ask), but I did mention my Canadian citizenship, because it was at a Nexus office, which processes both, the Nexus and GE applications at once.

If you happen to live next to a Canadian border, or you can fly in, just apply for Nexus on the "GOES" system, which gives you both for $50.

My Mr and I got our GE at the same time; he is US non-resident alien so not even a US citizen. We were interviewed by the same officer but one after the other and not together. He was asked the same generic questions that I was, nothing even remotely memorable. Interviews took about equally long (maybe 5 minutes of questions then take fingerprints and such). I would guess that if a UK citizen gets the same questions that a US citizen does, then a dual US/Irish citizen would be more or less in the ballpark.

If you have two passports, or a passport and a green card, they are quite particular about which document the GE encoding is placed on. For a while it would work on the Mr's passport as well as green card; then he started getting email nastygrams when using the UK passport, and now the passport doesn't work at all, and he must use his greencard.

I am a US/Australian citizen and entered both passport numbers in the GE interview process. Didn't have any problems with the interview. The interview was really just an orientation into the program and how to use the kiosk.
