After getting the ticket from the Global Entry kiosk, you seem to have to proceed to the exact same CBP officers that everyone else proceeds to. I was asked a few questions by that officer. Other than the fact that he didn't have to scan my passport, I could not see what was quicker about the process once I got to the CBP officer.

Using NEXUS, on the other hand, upon returning to Canada was MUCH more convenient.

We did my wife's Nexus renewal last night and it looks like this morning her Nexus information stopped reflecting her J-1 status. The CBP officer was surprised when she saw the J-1 and I94 in my wife's passport. I suspect that the renewal somehow reset her status in the Nexus system but when I try to add her I94 as a document of admissibility I have no options to change any documents since her renewal is pending review. Is her best bet to go to the Nexus office and make those changes again? Anyone else had this issue in the past?

Thank you for sharing this detail. I will definitely check with them. I find one attorney who is dealing with these type of cases. Anyone knows that he has good standing ? http://ankenylawcorp.com/about/jason.html

IIRC, people have had their Nexus cards revoked for carrying items for other people.

We talked about the debate over the need to update in person and she said there should be no debate whatsoever - you absolutely DO need to visit a Nexus office to update your docs in person (I've heard about faxing them in but we didn't talk about that). So there is no doubt whatsoever about this and let's put this debate to rest once and for all. This is not an agent telling me this because she didn't know or made up her own answer. This is fact. I updated the passport info over 2 months ago in GOES and she still had the old passport information in her system. She showed me.

Mr. Fink had renewed his driver license. Same number, same everything. Just the expiry date had changed. Same thing. The info on the Canadian system showed the expired license depsite me updating the expiry date in GOES three weeks ago.

So can we please stop the debate. The Canadian side cannot see any document updates you do in GOES and you must visit a Nexus office in person (again, no idea about the fax idea) to update your docs in the Canadian system. Period.

To be fair, the new TTP site launching on October 1 that will replace GOES might have the proper capability to transmit changes to CBSA properly, so I wouldn't say the debate is finished just quite yet.

I'm not sure why you picked out that one lawyer, other than his INS/CBP experience. When choosing a lawyer, you really need to do your online research and reading first.

This guy works on the opposite side of the United States from Canada, went to a law school that you should probably read about :eek:, has only been licensed to practice law since 2016, and advertises himself as working in a lot of areas besides immigration.

Oh, and then there's this:

It's his lawsuit against CBP and the Secretary of DHS for "sex-based discrimination and retaliation".

Newbie2FT,
Really you rocked bro. Thank you for helping me out here. I was almost to share my information with this guy. I am really sick and tired in searching but I could not find any good lawyer who deals with NEXUS denial. If you know anyone please help me. Shall be very thankful to you. Once again thanks and have great time.

You're welcome. It's very important when you're thinking about hiring a lawyer to thoroughly research him/her. If you have a name in mind, spend about 1-2 hours to keep googling the name with a variety of other words next to it, like lawyer, attorney, lawsuit, immigration, Nexus (or whatever the problem is), etc, and read everything that seems relevant.

Like you said earlier, your need for a lawyer isn't just about Nexus denial anymore. You need an attorney to figure out if you will be found inadmissible on future attempts to enter the United States (maybe through FOIA requests for your records), to fix that problem, and maybe to overcome the Nexus denial.

I don't have any experience with particular lawyers who work on Nexus denials, and I doubt most other people in this forum do either. I mentioned some lawyers' names in an earlier post.

You may want to email or call the BCCLA and ACLU lawyers in that list and ask if they can refer you to an immigration lawyer who deals with inadmissibility (and Nexus). (If you can't afford the lawyers you are referred to, and you have an annual income below about $40,000 USD, you could ask the BCCLA/ACLU lawyers to refer you out for pro bono (free) work.) Or you could contact the other, private practice lawyers on that list and see what they say.

Folks,

Please note that FlyerTalk is not an attorney referral service.

Please contact your local bar association or a service such as the American Immigration Lawyers Association's Immigration Lawyer Search to find a qualified attorney.

Thank you for understanding,
