Besides for the fact that in some places (like YYZ) you go through customs when departing, as was discussed in the past few pages, GE/Nexus helps you take an expedited TSA security lane when there is one.

I hold up the card and walk right through expedited security even in places that don't have PreCheck.

I was waiting on the pilots line with my kids in JFK last year (lines were crazy) and a tsa agent came over yelling that all ''you guys'' think you own the place and cut lines.... showed her my card and had my turn of yelling and threatening To have her fired and charged for racial slur bla bla, she was begging and apologized a million times

You guys...classy.
I may have asked for a supervisor, depending on how bad my airline meal was.

Just an update, both myself and my wife were approved recently.

Did interviews in JFK, was quick and easy.

Before i applied for my wife i read the whole thread as i was very unsure of what info to put for her last name. The only document with her maiden name is her passport, which expires in 4 years. All other documents have her married name. After PMing a couple members (thanks) I ended up putting her current legal name on the application and in the section under "Other Names Used" i put her maiden name.

When she came to the interview they edited her name in their system to reflect her passport/maiden name.

In hindsight i should have done the other way around, but i think either way you do it there is nothing to worry about and they wont deny your "conditional approval" because of this.

But what happens when she gets a new passport with married name? Will the GE transfer?

When going to Newark airport for my global entry appointment, what's my parking options?
Any cheaper options than the short term parking lots?

You should be less than an hour. Not sure it is worth it to park out of airport.

Okay. What does short term parking cost for an hour?

Yes.
And if you already made your appointment somewhere else, you can reschedule and choose a different location at goes.com

Or you can make an Appt. at Bowling Green (downtown Manhattan) and take the subway, it's right near the subway station. It was very quick, place was empty, I was in and out...
