I have a quick question on above.
Last year I was passing through customs at Otay Mesa and we saw people going through fast on another lane.
When we stopped at the border agent we asked what is required to use the fast lane and the border agent told us if all parties in vehicle have "passport card" then we can use the faster processing lane. Now I looked up on the internet it shows a card or program called SENTRI and it looks like that is what's required to use the fast lane (nexus lane)
Which is true? Do you just need to have passport card or need to enroll in SENTRI program?
Thank you for your help!
