well i screwed up on this, and applied for nexus instead of GE. have no idea how i did that but anyways i know that i will get GE with my Nexus but the issue is how do i get to a nexus service center. anybody know of any special nexus service centers that are not on the list because i rarely fly in or out of the great north.
thanks!
thanks!
There are interview centers on the U.S. side of the border, though maybe you already know that. Perhaps find an excuse for a trip to Seattle, or such. Not sure the interview availability is any better however.

One other thing to note is that you can always try a drop-in (unscheduled), if it's convenient. When I got to my appt, there was a girl there who didn't have an appt, but came with her friend who did. Two CBP officers were free, so they took us both, although I finished first. Could be worth your time. Just because tehy don't have any slots available doesn't mean there is a revolving door of GE interviewees at the CBP office.

When will the personlized code be sent
.bomb website says 1 business day. I still yet see the code at the end of 24-hour period after requesting, which should be one business day. What is the typically waiting time?

Good luck.
A quick question - I don't need to carry my GE card when returning home through SFO, right? Thanks.

If you think three months at SFO is bad, allow me to introduce you to the four month (!) line at IAD. As of this morning, the next available appointment at Dulles isn't until mid-April. Hopefully cancellations will open up some slots sooner than that.

Quick question about UA sponsoring/reimbusing for Global Entry. I'm already a Global Entry member, and as a UA Platinum, I was hoping to use this voucher that UA gives out for my spouse. Is this possible? Or is the voucher tied to my name? Alternatively, can I take the voucher now, and use it when my Global Entry membership expires (since I will no longer be Plat come Feb '13?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Can anyone tell us how the link works? Is it a prepopulated form?

Denver location?
Can anyone tell me where the interview location is in Denver? The web site just lists the airport's street address.

I am sure this question was answered in here, but how long does the Global Entry meeting take? If I do in Denver I have to wait until Mid-April to get my meeting, but if I schedule in IAD or IAH I can do it in early January.
Also will I have to do a meeting with CPB for Pre-Check as well?
Thank you
Edited for Hans: The CBP office is at DIA is on the North End of the Main Concourse where the International Arrivals come out of. There is a metal door to the right of the exit and a phone there, pick up the phone and they buzz you in.

Using for yourself or a spouse?
Certainly under the "old" system of sending in a receipt, there was no easy way for United to verify whether the payment was for you or someone else's GE application so long as the payment was made to your credit card.

For myself, but the credit card stuff isn't tied to an individual. It's just a billing name/address/card#.
Presumably the bill might show up on UA's credit card with some identifying factor? Dunno. Off to try the code again after 24 hours... nope. Card declined.

No extra meeting for Pre although you need to get your number issued, enter it into .bomb and at some random point months in the future you may get the three beeps (still hasn't happened to me).
