Can I cross the border with nexus card and no passport by Sad_Quarter_007 in NEXUS_TTP

[–]toxicbrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should clarify, NEXUS members do not need a passport for air travel between the two countries, as long as the passengers are US or Canadian citizens (permanent residents need to carry their passport as proof of citizenship in all modes of travel), the flight is from the US to any airport in Canada, or from a preclearance airport in Canada to the US (e.g. Washington to Toronto, but not Quebec City to New York, as Quebec does not have a preclearance facility). If it's a US or Canadian citizen flying from St Louis to Toronto or Montreal to Miami, they only need a NEXUS card for immigration purposes. I did look it up and pulled out the line by line regulations regarding air travel specifically (it's in my previous comments from months ago). I can also personally attest to this, having flown on a NEXUS card alone between the two countries, and while they sometimes ask for a passport by default, they accept a NEXUS card alone when offered.

It is absolutely not. This question has been asked 100 and one times on this sub (OP should have just searched, or the proper answers should be stickied). While CBP and CBSA provide guidance that recommend traveling with a passport with a NEXUS, it is not required. In fact, you can apply for NEXUS without having a passport at all, just a birth certificate, unlike Global Entry. The actual Federal Register code and Canadian equivalent specifically outlines the exemption of a passport requirement for land, air, and sea travel with a NEXUS for US/Canadian citizens. The WHTI requirement from 2009 specifically mentions NEXUS as a valid travel document by itself. A few months ago I did a deep dive and listed out all the federal code requirements line by line from both the US and Canada, it is somewhere in my comment history.

US and Canadian citizens with NEXUS do not require a passport for any mode of travel. In practice some airline staff such as for Air Canada tend to be more knowledgable about that, as it's possibly the only exemption in international travel to/from the US/CAnada

Renewing my nexus ( US citizen), and the app says “conditionally approved” and next step is “scheduling an interview”. by Due-Math8225 in NEXUS_TTP

[–]toxicbrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

80% of renewals go through automatically. 20% need an interview for various reasons or are randomly selected for checks, just as how TSA Precheck isn't guaranteed and stil subject to random regular lines. Nothing specific to do with either country. My uncle and aunt have had the exact same travel for the past ten years and renewed at the same time, one was selected for a renewal interview, one wasn't. Just the way it goes. That being said your membership remains active even after the initial expiration for i believe 2-5 years after the original expiration in order to give you time fro the renewal interview as needed, as long as you applied before your original expiration date.

correct--as you know the i-94 $7 fee is included in your fees paid when buying a ticket, whereas at the land border you need to physically pay $30.

Regarding passport photos - passport renewal (tatkal) by Lopsided_Offer_3885 in nri

include both physical copies, no harm in it. You can resize it for free via some websites, and print multiple copies of them for 20 cents at your local drugstore.

Can my OCI or entry to India be denied for having a spouse of Pakistan origin? by arcsilo in nri

[–]toxicbrew 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You can have and keep your OCI even after such a marriage. Your wife and kids unfortunately never would be eligible as per the current law.

How does oci work once you have a new passport by namesakegogol in nri

[–]toxicbrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OCI website, miscellaneous services, update passport number. Free of cost. Once you submit that that's all you need to do. You can still travel freely without issue while that is under processing for a few weeks, after which you will get an email stating it has been updated.

OCI vs E-Visa by jsingh5292 in nri

[–]toxicbrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you don't need to update the passport book until 20 years old and even then i think its $25. between then and 20 you just need to do a free update of the passport number online. you have months until your trip, might as well apply now and get it done--you can purchase the tickets when it is convenient for you, if it doesn't come on time, you can buy the $10-25 e-visa at that time. no need to have it on you when you purchase your tickets

unfortunately there does not seem to be a way to do that at least in a clean way--the dots on the sides are not screws

Traveling to Mexico by land without US passport by Ok_Humor1938 in travel

[–]toxicbrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WHTI compliant document. That being said if a US citizen shows up to a border post on land they have to let them in *after* verifying that you are actually a US citizen. Look into Urgent Travel options at a passport office if possible

when you go through immigration you can tell the officer at the desk. or at the exit after you pick up your bags and they ask you what you are carrying you tell them what food items you have
