You don't have to have the iris scan completed to get your NEXUS card or to use GE. While the interview is generally complicated by the fact that you need to get in the proximity of the border, if you can justify a trip to SEA (there's a enrollment center near Boeing Field) or DTW, you need not visit a Canadian airport.

This sounds similar to my experience with my NEXUS card.
