How to maintain SENTRI as well as Global Entry?
Hi, I have a SENTRI card that I use at the Ready Lanes when returning to the US across a land border. I recently had my Global Entry Interview and was told that my SENTRI benefits will be a subset of my Global Entry benefits.
As someone who is not a US citizen, US Legal Permanent Resident nor a Canadian/Mexican national, I am not eligible for a Global Entry Card.
Is there a way for me to maintain a SENTRI membership along with my Global Entry membership so that I continue to have a card that I can use at the Ready Lanes?

Your Global Entry functions similarly to a SENTRI card. I have had no issues getting from Mexico to the US. I am somewhat confused as to how or why you applied for GE?

I have SENTRI membership so that I can use the Ready Lanes at land borders. I applied for Global Entry membership because I wanted to be able to use the kiosks at airport border control.
With my SENTRI membership, I get a card that I can use at the Ready Lanes at the land borders.
Since I am not a US citizen, US Legal Permanent Resident nor a Canadian/Mexican national, I can get Global Entry membership but not a Global Entry card.
Without a card, I wonder how to use the Ready Lanes at land borders.

Assuming OP meets the citizen requirements (one of the countries that's on the list) of GE then OP would have access to those benefits.
