Wife had her Nexus interview today. Was over(and approved) in all of ten minutes. Had photo taken and got fingerprinted. No iris scan. When I asked about it, was told they don't do that anymore due to the transition over to facial recognition technology. Was interviewed by the CBP officer first and then his Canadian counterpart. Both officers were very cordial.
