I am sort of in the same boat

DO NOT re apply for GE - if you do it will over ride NEXUS and you lose NEXUS

I just came thru IAH and scanned my passport and it gave me the 14 days till expiring on my GE (I got NEXUS 2 years after my GE renewal)
I went to the station and asked, they looked up my info and my NEXUS portion of GE hasn't kicked in until GE expires naturally, then I will use the GE portion of my NEXUS.

Basically their computer can only handle you having 1 type of KTN thing at a time and if you renew GE it will over write the NEXUS, just like your NEXUS overwrote your GE

It is all kinds of fuzzy, but the next time I go thru my GE will be expired and my NEXUS will be my only active program and they said to just ask an agent to contact the manager and get it sorted.

It happened to me also. Just ignore that message. Your NEXUS is good until 2022. Mark your calendar to renew your NEXUS at T-364.

But there wouldn't be any point in applying for GE anyway if you have NEXUS since NEXUS gives you everything that GE does.

Hipplewm

Correct, but you get the GE expiring emails, GOES site lists it as expiring and when you use GE for the last 30 days prior to your old GE expiring the kiosks will warn you it is about to expire.

BMGRAHAM

I didn't get those e-mails. Strange.

Wanted to make sure I closed the loop on this....just processed thru IAH returning from Frankfurt and from the time the door on the plane opened to baggage claim was 6 minutes. GE worked like a charm and the line was nothing - compared to the regular line when 3 planes had just dumped passengers.

So, yeah, that warning is crapola - as long as your nexxus is good, GE is fine

Hello All,
I currently have Global Entry, and today I applied for NEXUS presuming that I will have both cards active if my NEXUS application is approved as well.
After applying for NEXUS and doing some research, I have got to understand that NEXUS decision will supersede my current Global Entry access. Am I understanding this correctly?

My questions :

1. If I get a NEXUS approval, will I be able to use it during International travels (arriving to US apart from CANADA or MEXICO)?
2. What benefits will I lose switching to NEXUS? I am even thinking of cancelling my NEXUS application, if there are restrictions like "To be used for LAND/AIR travel between USA, CANADA and MEXICO only"
3. When will the Global Entry be superseded? After the interview OR as soon as Conditionally Approved? If after Conditional Approval of NEXUS, I decide not to take the interview will I still continue to have Global Entry?

Can somebody share their experiences?

Thanks

All of your questions have been extensively discussed in this thread.

NEXUS includes Global Entry and TSA Pre✓® benefits for U.S. citizens, U.S. lawful permanent residents and Canadian citizens (Trusted Traveler Programs Comparison Chart).

Your Global Entry card will be deactivated upon the activation of your new NEXUS card.

Good Morning All,
I saw my conditional approval of NEXUS application this morning..I am already a GE member. Request the members' for some of the information I am looking out for. Basically, the conditional approval letter lists documents to bring for interview. Of which Drivers licence is one of them

1) My drivers license has the address I lived before (the one at the time of GE Approval) and different from my current address. Will this cause any problems? Or can I bring my utility bills to support my address. When I applied for NEXUS I have listed my current address and also had diligently updated my current address in Trusted Traveler program CBP portal as soon as I had moved

2) There is a window of 1 year to book the appointment. Has this now changed? I faintly recall and it was long time ago, of coming across an information about 30 days to book the appointment from the date of conditional approval

3) Due to the new Conditional approval, what will happen to my current Global Entry membership till I go through the interview for NEXUS?

Nayef

Your GE membership is fine and it's only canceled whenever you're approved for NEXUS.

And any thoughts about the Address mismatch on my drivers license?

Nayef

I can't say for certain that it shouldn't be an issue, though I'm inclined to think it shouldn't be an issue. Perhaps bring something else that could serve as proof of your current address.

1KChinito

Do you have proof you have changed address on your driver's license to current address? Utility bill is a good back up.

Yes, that is still the case. If I were you, I would make an appointment within 30 days from conditional approval for any date and time at any location. Then change to your desired date, time and location. If you are looking for a bonus time, schedule your appointment the day after your birthday. You shall receive 364 bonus days.

I have been conditionally approved for a Trusted Traveler Program and would like to schedule an appointment for my interview.

If you filed your application using the TTP website, then the appointment can be scheduled on-line. Log in to the TTP website and click on the Schedule Interview button available on the Dashboard. After selecting an Enrollment Center, you will be able to select the date and time of the interview from a list of available interview time slots. After the interview has been confirmed, the status of your application will be changed to "Interview Scheduled."

When selecting an interview location, you have an option of how Enrollment Centers are displayed:

1. You can view Enrollment Center locations in the United States, Canada, etc.

2. You can search for the Enrollment Centers by soonest available appointment

3. You can search by a specified date to show all Enrollment Centers with availability

4. You can filter to show all the Enrollment Centers with at least one appointment by a certain day

Please note that appointment availability varies based on the demand at each Enrollment Center. Due to high application volume, some locations may not have available appointments. You may select any Enrollment Center with available dates to complete your enrollment interview.

You must complete enrollment within 365 days of receiving your conditional approval. Not scheduling and completing the interview will result in cancelation of the application and no refunds will be granted.

Nothing will happen to your Global Entry until you have activated your NEXUS card. Once you activated your NEXUS card, your Global Entry and Global Entry card will be deactivated. You can have either NEXUS or Global Entry, but not both at the same time.

I had read on this forum that "As an existing Global Entry member, one doesnt have to go through a CBP interview" and I can go to the IRIS scan directly without interview or something along these lines....Can someone aware of such discussion or information, please point me to that link?

The thread I remember was about an already approved Global Entry not having to repeat the CBP interview or something like that. Instead go directly to CBSA for Nexus interview
