Re: Global entry - update info with newly obtained visa on arrival in US?

I'm guessing, but on your first time of entry using this visa you would need to see an officer. Then go see GE at the airport. If you are travelling a lot internally then see if you can get Clear....

I live just outside of Princeton :)

You need at least $1700 for a one bed 600sqft apartment anywhere around Princeton. I would say a solid $3000 a month for 2-2500 sq ft single family home.
