Thanks! That's a long way from Terminal 1. There is some kind of air train or something to take over there? I've never been over there before.
Red line is the Airport Transit System connection between terminals (outside security). |
Using Global Entry with CDN passport, NEXUS and Green Card
Hi Collective Wisdom:
I have a newly minted NEXUS card and "upgraded" it to Global Entry. I am a Canuck living in the cornfields of Illinois (CMI) with a Green Card. Will be coming back from Korea end of February (first international trip of the year). Looking forward to trying out GE when I get back (ORD). Some newbie GE questions: 1. Should I worry about not having the famous sticker? I got my GE via the GOES website. 2. Do I use my CDN passport or my Green Card or both to operate the kiosk? 3. Any other words of advice? Cheers and safe travels, DocD |

I've used GE many times and have never been asked to show my sticker. Incidentally, I'm in the same boat as you--a NEXUS member who got GE membership via GOES. I went to a CBP office to pick up my sticker and the officer almost giggled at me as he handed a couple over. It made me think that they don't really check for them, and IME, they haven't. 2. You should insert only your Green Card into the GE kiosk. 3. Press HARD when the machine is taking your digital fingerprints; otherwise you'll have a longer wait to get a good capture. 4. Relax! Enjoy! |

Today I used GE for the third time, all through T8 (aa) at JFK. The first two times, after getting my p/o from the GE terminal, I proceeded to the exit (I don't check luggage), the agent took my slip and said to go through to the final exit. Today, after handing the CBP agent my slip, he looked at it and looked at something on his desk and then told me to just go through, but his tone was more like he was doing me a "favor". It only took 30 seconds extra. Is it possible he is new and has never seen a GE slip? [Also, my flight from ZRH arrived at the tail end of a flight from somewhere in Central or South America (one could see this from the pax:D) and maybe he didn't expect pax from my flight to get to the last step in the CBP area so soon.)

I added my new passport nfo in GOES and it took it. However, when I called they said it wouldn't work until I checked it in at a Global Entry office.
Have you used yours since you did this, and did it work without checking in with an office? My next 2 INTL returns are on Sundays, and the offices are closed according to the website. |

FWIW, I didn't even need my sticker when I got the 'X'. I just showed the paper with the X.

Thanks for the helpful data points! (re; GE,Green Card, CDN passport and "stickers")
I have a 3 hour layover at ORD prior to my NRT outbound flight. Since I am a nicotine addict, I will be going outside security anyway so I think I just might head over to T5 to see about getting "stickerized" if for no other reason than I like stickers! Will report back on my experiences when I get home from Korea. Thanks again Collective Wisdom. Cheers and safe travels all, DocD |

Question about this...
I am a Nexus card holder and recently applied and was approved for Global Entry (online at GOES, took all of 30 minutes to get approved, no further paperwork or interview required). This morning I looked into the Privium/FLUX thing and it appears that in order for me to get a Privium card that I'd have to pay literally hundreds of Euros to sign up and a couple of hundred Euros per year to maintain my membership. If Germany is the next country to join FLUX, am I to assume that I'd have to pay hundreds of Euros for their program as well? Seems like a cost model that could quickly require many hundreds of Euros per year to have FLUX access to all of the EU countries that I visit regularly. I hope the German system will be better. They need to find a way around the passport stamp issue. |

FWIW, I was asked to show my passport at customs specifically to see CBP sticker in it this week for the first time (ORD). He told me that I "should always hold my passport open to that page when handing in the customs slip" because they have to verify that. Dozens of exits so far, that was a new one. With some officers going rogue out there, it might be good advice for folks to make sure they go by and get the sticker.
Is your sticker inside the pp? |

My sticker is on the back cover of my pp: "CBP" is all it reads.

They stuck it on the inside of the back cover for me.

Seems strange that they have it in different places... Where was your GE interview? My sticker is also on the outside cover..
