Given the current NEXUS processing times, and my GE expiring in 3 months (July), is there any sense in just renewing GE first to ensure uninterrupted access, and then adding Nexus later? I doubt I'll be going to Canada often between now and then.

Here is my post from last year on my experience going from GE to Nexus: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/28751807-post56.html

Applied for Nexus: July-21-2017
Approved for Nexus: August-13-2017
Iris Scan Completed at YUL: August-29-2017

An interview was not required as I already had GE. I didn't need an appointment either - just walked it and did the iris scan same-day.
