Does it usually take this long?
Seems like doing Global Entry the direct way is taking longer, in addition to being more expensive. Given the experiences of those of us with NEXUS, if you live anywhere near the Canadian border or will be in Canada anytime soon, you are better off just getting NEXUS. Cheaper, more versatile, quicker turn around and automatic approval.
