Fascinating.
I went to the YYZ to update my Nexus for my new visa. I would have hated to have an interview, as they indicated that their systems had been down most of the day; folks were getting rescheduled. Since my VISA is for the US, their systems were still up, and that went fine. I had to use the crew line for my flight, though, as they said it would still take some time (hours?) for the Nexus machines to update. This led, of course, to my third set of ten finerprints in just over 5 days. (One, on E-1 interview. One, on obtaining I94 at Pearson for first trip. Now again, for one simple other visit. No wonder the bloody border is getting so frustrating...) |

When I stopped into the YVR NEXUS office in February to get GE stickers in our passports, I asked if it was necessary to update driver's license information and the US agent that I dealt with told me that it wasn't. The passport is important; the driver's license isn't.

That's it? Seems pretty easy to make on my printer!
Maybe because I have too many security stickers on the back.... |

However, this is a warning for most people seeking a Nexus Pass....DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON IMMIGROUP. I paid $250 only to be rejected by DHS. The reason: Apparently, I had been visiting my girlfriend too often in the US already....so I became a "red flag" and was rejected. On two occasions (between January 16th and March 16th) I visited my girlfriend on a Thursday night, and drove back to Canada early on the following Monday, but DHS viewed this as visiting for 5 days on 2 occasions....and I was penalized.
Of course, I visited her often only because she had to renew her passport and this took a few weeks...so I visited her until her passport was received. Now we split the time equally north and south of the border so it's not as much of an issue...unless you work for DHS of course :( My whining isn't with DHS though...I just feel somewhat miffed because I feel as though I got suckered by Immigroup to pay $250 for something that only costs $50....so keep your money....avoid Immigroup. Sounds like they are simply making a quick buck (well, lots, actually) for doing everything you can easily do yourself. Sounds like all they are doing is proofreading your application once completed (easily done yourself), submitting it for you (easily done yourself) and setting up an interview if you are conditionally approved (easily done yourself). |

Nowhere else I've entered is it an issue: JFK, IAD, SFO, MIA, LAX, EWR. |

It my experience, ORD is the only place that checks for the sticker or even wants to see your passport.

Check the home page once you log in to your GOES account. You should have a message saying either you need to get your fingerprints done by making an appointment (meaning: just show up) at a Nexus or GE office, or that you can now begin using GE. |
