Question on NEXUS renewal
 

Does anyone know if they re-scan your eyes & fingers on renewal or do they simply keep the existing data on file? If they did, I would be able to schedule my interview at a land border that doesn't have the scanning equipment.

Unless your eyes or fingers have changed, they will reuse the existing data.

Global entry with green card tips?
 

Former H1B, now Green Card holder (PR); registered for both Nexus and GE.
When I tried using GE (because Nexus terminal was down), I inserted my (Cdn) passport as instructed, then got an error message along the lines of "US Permanent Residents must use their PR card".
Next time, I inserted the PR card in the document reader and could not get it to read. I tried all four combinations. Any ideas what I am doing wrong.
thanks

Its supposed to work. They do indeed have you use your green card in the GE kiosk and I've seen green card holders at machines next to me use them without issue.

If one is going from Boston, the best move is probably a bus or whatever to Montreal. Much closer than Buffalo.

First, if you book a rental car for one day in advance, even with gas costs it should be under $100 to drive to the Champlain border and back. Just.

I had never heard that interviews can be done in Canadian cities, is that correct? I thought the NEXUS interviews were all at borders, but I could easily be wrong.

In any case I have tried to find a decent priced bus to Montreal and it doesn't seem to exist, aside from the fact that it would take longer than one day to get there and back (due to bus scedules) and thus involve a hotel stay, so not under $100. (That's my guess, from the research I've done.)

Any Canadian airport with US preclearance facilities can do NEXUS interviews: Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto Pearson, Ottawa, Montreal Trudeau and Halifax. (I am always unsure about Quebec City; I don't think it has preclearance but I could be wrong.)

No US precleareance at YQB.

No NEXUS or Global Entry kiosks either.

:eek:;)

According to the Nexus website, there is still an enrollment center in downtown Vancouver.

They transfer the data over, although the Canadian officer I talked to at my renewal interview said there have been a few instances of it not working properly, and so in that case, they do need to do new scans.

Nexus App - long processing time
 

Just wanted to write a note that Nexus seems to have a longer processing time nowadays. I just applied for my baby and it has been 7 weeks without a status change. Already wrote an email to inquire about the status and got admonished that it hasn't been 8 weeks yet (they say to email after 8 weeks of not hearing) and that there is no way to expedite the process. Sheesh. Back in 2010 it took 6 days for an application to be processed for me and my husband. Not sure why it takes so long to do a background check on an infant, unless there is now a huge queue for this program.

The downtown Vancouver location also does fingerprint and iris scans.

applied in early march, still haven't seen an update on the GOES website. its been a little over 6 weeks. i was contemplating emailing them as well, but i guess i will wait to see if it updates within the eight week time frame they give.

Welcome to FT!

Same here... I'll wait it out. Too bad, since I am near a center now but going away from it for a few weeks...

In downtown Vancouver, Corner of Dunsmuir and Homer Streets. Located on the first floor of the BC Hydro Building. As you walk into the building from Dunsmuir go slightly to the left and all the way down the hall way.
