as im a student and have quite a few stamps in my passport, they wanted proof of my financial solvency, so i had to send them a copy of my bank statement for the previous 3 months before they approved me.

If my wife's passport is still on her maiden name, how should she apply? She won't have any bill/document to prove primary residence...will that pass or will they accept my proof of residence for both even though both passport last names don't match?

My wife's passport and license are in her maiden name, and her license still has her parents' Ohio address (I'm from NY). The officers conducting our interviews had no problem whatsoever with my explanation that we moved to Israel right after our wedding, and that we don't plan on changing the addresses anytime soon, as long as we're in Israel. We told them that we split our visits to the USA between NY and OH, so it's okay that between the two of us, we have one address in each state. ;)

Does anyone know if they are strict on Nexus appointments? They officially don't allow walk-ins.
Hey there! I am using WhatsApp.

Global Entry/ Nexus
« Reply #95 on: January 06, 2012, 10:55:31 AM »
I am a pretty new member here, but felt to share what I did yesterday.

I applied for the Nexus program which includes the Global entry and Nexus program

I flew in to YYZ (Toronto) for the appt. (used Avios miles, 18K biz class R/T)

Took about 20 minutes, and I had Global entry in my hands (it's not a physical card, only that I can use the GE machine from now on, the Nexus card to use the Nexus program will arrive in about 10 days).

I am not in the mood now for a long post, but i can certainly help you out if you need more detailed information.

You flew to YYZ just for the appointment?

If you fly internationally often, GE can save you tens of hours of waiting.

...except that he apparently wanted nexus pretty badly (as you can be interviewed at JFK for GE).

But if you fly often, why not just save your appointment for when you're flying?
