Nexus pass

[Delicia 1]

As I posted before my husband (the Canadian) wanted to get a nexus pass for his visits to me in the U.S. It is much easier for him to travel (and cheaper) since he is self employed he can pretty much take time off whenever he likes and he can stay at my apartment. When I go to Canada, I have to rent a car, get a hotel, etc because of his current living arrangements.

Since finding out he is 'flagged' with Canadian Immigration and will get put into secondary every time he returns to Canada he and I are of the thought that he would be denied a nexus pass on the Canadian side. On top of that, he doesn't want to get 'flagged' on the U.S. side and we think that applying for the nexus pass would do that in and of itself. He has problems getting proof that he will return to Canada as he is self employed and doesn't have a lease in his name or anything like that anymore.

Thoughts?

Could you call CBA and ask them if it would make any difference? I know there is a bunch of paper work, a fee, and an interview involved in getting the nexus.

It is impossible to get a live body at the CBSA so I was forced to send an email to the nexus group at Pearson Airport. Their voice mail promises response in 48 hours. We shall see...

So, I asked this question: Can a person currently processing for an IR-1 visa be issued a nexus pass? I received this response:

A change has occurred to the operation of the NEXUS/CANPASS Air booking center in Toronto. If you are requesting a NEXUS appointment, please call 1-866-521-9454. For a CANPASS Air appointment please call 905-676-4668.

I don't know if the following information will be of any use. I did see that it will take 4 to 6 weeks to determine eligibility. Anything I found on eligibility didn't specifically say if you'd filed an I-130 you'd be exempt. The application fee is $50.

Yeah, I know... My husband is flagged with CIC for what seems like a very silly reason and we are just trying to to draw attention or draw a flag on his U.S. entry by merely applying for a nexus pass. I think we will just skip it for now, it doesn't seem worth the risk.
