Anybody know anyone who has a NEXUS pass?

I was just wondering if I applied for one of these for the Port Huron/Sarnia back-n-forths if I'd get denied cuz of immigration pending....... ?

Would be kinda neato not to have to explain myself every time I drove in to canada.

I have one and it's worth every penny....

And you may have trouble with Canadian Immigration at your NEXUS interview in that respect. You won't know until you talk with them, but I would do it.. if it goes bad, you'll only be out $50.

Hey Zyg, should I apply for it now from California? (I will be visiting Canada again May 4), should I mail it now and see if I can get it processed by the time I go up to see hubby ? How does that work.....

I am going to move to Michigan Sept 1. Will be living hopefully around port huron or marysville, and getting to see my husband on weekends. Should I just wait until I have a michigan address?

sorry for all the Q's, just want to make sure I do this right for best case scenario.

Yeah.. you can apply for it while you're in California... after your application is approved, you have to make an appointment at the bridge to get processed for your card (inteview with US and Canadian authorities) and get your fingerprints done... You can make the appointment the next time that you cross over... but they keep odd hours though..

Today my valuable nexus pass was "confiscated" by the US Border Patrol 'cuz they said I had a pending immigration application to live in the USA (plus I had just quit my job etc etc). I was soo pissed cuz I voluntarily went to their office to update my info with my new married name & passport number! Boy it sucks to be honest!! Canadian side no issues just the U.S.

So just warning any of u in the same position as myself that they can easily take back your nexus privilidges at any time or when u most need it! Why do they make it so tough to be with your family in America??!?!?! i hope they still "allow" me to visit my hubby south of the damn border!

Oh wow - good thing we didnt apply for Mary to get one!

I love my NEXUS card. It rocks. I rarely get hassles at the border, but a few times of being held up for an hour is enough to pay for the NEXUS.

We were going to wait until Mary has her GC to apply for a NEXUS card - but when I went there they were all so nice and said if anything changes (my passport, my citizenship status, my drivers license) that I should just stop by the office and they'll rescan the new documents.

Kristy and I both got our last weekend, and her visa interview is coming up quick. Again, they just said if anything changes make sure you update your info ASAP, as if your documents don't match what's in the RFID chip, then you are screwed. The Canadian immigration officer that interviewed me made me well aware that I shouldn't be "living" in Canada, and I assured her that I don't sleepover except occasionally on the weekend, as that was her interpretation of "living."

And hey, I live in Port Huron! I'm looking at possibly selling my house, so we can move closer to my work. IM me if you're interested.

Weird. After we got married I stopped in to change my name and give my updated passport to them and no one said boo to me. Marriage certificate had right on it that I live in canada and hubby lives in the US. I wonder if it helped that the Canadian customs lady looked at my marriage cert while the US customs guy wasn't there and handed it back to me. Then she gave him the info and he just asked if I wanted a new pic.

I've been pulled in for 'random' nexus inspections since then and I always tell them I'm visiting hubby, the paperwork is filed, etc. I know there's even notes typed up in the computer about me cause I saw the guy doing it. It's never been a big deal. I think most of it depends on which border crossing you use and how often you cross. I go every week and it's usually the same 5 people on the US side that I see. I dunno.

But yes they can take nexus back at any time for any reason. It says that in the fine print when you sign the application.
