My guess is issue is on CBSA side. As we know CBP evaluates continued trusted traveler participation every day by searching various law enforcement databases, I'm guessing not much involved in terms of CBP processing our NEXUS applications as my spouse and kids have been GE members for quite some time.

There were several data points prior to May that NEXUS was processed within 3-4 weeks even for new applicants. Something must have been happening starting in May resulting in these delays.
