Can a person be denied a Nexus trusted travelers card for being in the arrears with child support?
My daughter and boyfriend are moving to Alaska in July. They plan to drive from the lower 48 through Canada and in through Alaska. Her boyfriend was denied a passport because two years ago he found out he had a ten year old child from a one night stand. Several men were subpoena for DNA testing and he proved to be the child’s father. As an alternative to a passport (required June 1, 2009 for re-entry into the US) he was going to apply for the Nexus card but doesn’t want to pay the application fee if he will be denied this card. He has unsuccessfully tried to contact Nexus. Has anyone out there been granted a Nexus card while in arrears with child support?
Wow sounds like your daughter has a really great boyfriend! Sounds like a decent guy.
There’s nothing on the Nexus web site about child support but application is subject to criminal background checks etc. It also implies you need to be able to get a passport to get a Nexus card.
Isn’t their phone number working? He should just try and call them again.
My husband and I went through this. He lived in Canada and I was in the U.S. Long distance relationship and all that. I did get my Nexus card, but I also had a U.S. passport. He was behind in his child support at the time, was denied a Canadian passport because of it, and if you’re not eligible to get a passport, you’re not eligible for Nexus.
I’m making an educated guess here, but he may be able to fly to Alaska even if he has to stop in Canada to get there. He should probably talk to an immigration lawyer or a family law lawyer who specializes in father’s rights.
