Hello all,

Does anyone know if I can apply for a Nexus card while we are in the process of waiting for my CR-1?

I am just hoping to speed things up at the airport when I do travel to visit my wife in the US or for work.

We recently sent in the I-130 and have our NOA1 so just want to see if applying for Nexus will be okay.

Thank you,

Brent

You can. You will just need to update the documents tied to you when they change later meaning you will add your green card information to your Nexus card once you have it. That will mean going in person. So it may be to your advantage to wait if it isn't convenient for you to stop my an office later with your updated documents. I myself now need to go in order to show them the extension letter for my green card as I am removing conditions.
