Kiosk at SEA didn't recognize my registration! Even though the test at ORD worked. No time to check with Homeland Security at SEA and there is no Global Entry office at DEN where I currently am awaiting my flight to YYZ. Office at YYZ will likely be closed by the time I get home. Sounds like this thing is a real F*ckup!

Bolding mine.

This is a very dangerous analysis.

While CBSA does not ask for the card upon exit, get secondaried without it and you will cease to be a nexus participant.

Agreed!

Nexus card - don't leave home without it.
Passport - don't leave home without it.

I have been asked to show Nexus card, on occasion, both ways.

You're right of course in theory and I don't question that you were asked for it. However, I have been enrolled since Canpass days, using it almost weekly for five or six years, have been sent to secondary in Canada and the US on many occasions and have never, ever been asked by Canadian officials for my Nexus card, and was told specifically by the Canadian enrolment officer that I only needed the card if the machines were down and I wanted to use crew or diplomats' line. This was contradicted moments later by the US enrolment officer who told me to have it on my person whenever traversing the border.

I have been successful in using the Global Entry kiosks in IAD on January 6th. I figured I would give it a try, and it recognized my passport and my fingerprints no problem.

entered US aprox 10 times through YYZ.

only 2 (the last 2) I was asked to show the card.

About 50% of the time going into the US (air or road) I have had to hand over my Nexus card. But only once (Ambassador Bridge) have I been ever asked to show it coming home - never at an airport.

I don't know if somebody else is on the same situation but I'm not either US or CAN citizen, still have NEXUS, and I need an I94 form to be stamped by an officer when entering US from overseas. machines do not provide this, still I received the email from nexus that I can use GE, and the nexus online page says no further action required.

I have to go through JFK in 2 weeks, just in case I printed the email and my nexus page where it says I can use GE system.

let's see how it goes.
I will post results.

Read back in the thread - I believe someone said the machine prints out an extra coupon for you to give to your airline when leaving the US. I assumed this was in lieu of I-94 stamping. But I often assume incorrectly...

I'll give it another shot next time I'm passing through EWR or another airport with the Global Entry kiosk. It's helpful to know that others NEXUS members have used the GE kiosks without issue.

My Experience
 

I wanted to post my experience with Nexus and Global Entry.

I applied in December for Nexus and received conditional approval about a week later. I scheduled my interview for last Friday (1/14) in Seattle. The US agent wanted to know why I wanted NEXUS and I told her because I sometimes travel to Canada and also I wanted Global Entry. That answer seem to have annoyed her. The Canadian agent was very nice and said it made sense to apply for NEXUS first, as it was cheaper.

On Monday, 1/17, I received an email stating there has been a change to my GOES account . There was notification that I have been approved for NEXUS and that my card is on its way. Additionally at the bottom of the page was the same verbiage about now being able to use Global Entry. I also tried to apply for Global Entry and that option was grayed out.

Today 1/18, I fly back to Atlanta and decide to drop by the Global Entry enrollment center and ask for a sticker for my passport. The agent there stated that he could not merge my NEXUS account with Global Entry. He said he wanted to make sure that GE worked for me and that giving me a sticker wouldn't accomplish that. Therefore he must create a new profile for Global Entry.

He proceeds to take new fingerprints and a picture. Additionally he stated that I am now approved for Global Entry based upon NEXUS. He gave me a walk through of the kiosk, placed a sticker on the inside of passport and sent me on my way. As an aside, he had no clue how NEXUS worked and was surprised that a card was issued for NEXUS users.

Now, when I log onto GOES, I have NEXUS and Global Entry under "Program Membership". The verbiage about NEXUS users can GE is now gone.

Would a kind person answer this, if I apply for Nexus this week I should received a conditional approved within two weeks right? I can then book an appointment on the date I want? I need to know this as I'm flying out next month and need to know how long it take. I can't find that info over at Nexus website and I'm in Ontario. Thank you kindly.

You would likely receive a response within a couple weeks, but depending on your location an interview could take longer to schedule. You would then need to wait for your card to arrive before you could start using it.

Unless everything goes perfect, you would be unlikely to get your card for a February flight.

You can expect anything when you come from the US into Canada.

One time I was crossing through Blaine (pre-Nexus, but I guess this fits the thread.) All kinds of CBP just before the Canadian border. I got pulled aside. They asked me if I was carrying more than $10,000. I laughed slightly (I shouldn't have) ... and said no.

I was asked if I had a gun, to which I replied: "I'm a Canadian. We don't like guns."

I guess they didn't like that answer since they proceeded to spend 15 minutes ripping apart my (rental) car and personal effects. They found nothing. Their attitude was anal throughout.

I suspect they were looking for drug money coming back into Canada.

Thank you, I will try to apply this week.
