I had my wife and 2 kids interviewed and then we lost our passports, do we need a new appointment with the new passports?

Was able to update on GOES website

Sure. It can be used for anyone.

Being in the neighborhood finally so I called in by JFK he said we can walk in (wife, I, and infant) but is booked solid and may end up being 2 hours. Did anyone experience such long waiting time on a family walk in?
Also do I need anything extra besides passport for my infant?

Yes, I waited close to 2 hours.

How long is now the wait to be approved and the card should arrive (after interveiw)?

meshugener · « **Reply #505 on:** September 07, 2013, 10:23:46 PM »

My wife got approved in less than 24 hours after applying.
No need to wait for a card, unless you wanna use it for expedited land crossing.

Applied for my wife on Erev Yom Tov, and she is now approved.
Just need to get an interview because I need the card to use Chol Hamoed at Niagara

Car only needs to be approved for Sentri (Mexican border), you can use the GE card in the Nexus lane only entering the USA

Regular GE does not entitle him Nexus.
