We are currently experiencing a backlog in processing. Processing times vary by applicant, but on average you can expect your application to be processed as follows:
• GE: 4 months
• NEXUS: 12-14 months
• SENTRI: 10 months
These are average times. Unfortunately, we cannot anticipate a date of completion for your specific application at this time.
At least you got a n (automated) response. I guess you are SOL for another two months. Frankly, I don't understand why Nexus takes so long, considering the Canadian side has a published goal of 30 days which they hit 95% of the time. I'm confused as to why there is still a backlog in the first place too since basically no one was traveling for six months to a year, you would think the agents could have been repositioned to look at the applications, since none of them were furloughed and the main work of many agents dried up. Just like USCIS cleared its passport backlog I would hope CBP could clear this one. They can move fast when they want, such as assisting in processing of Ukrainian refugees. Obviously that is much higher priority so I don't blame them, but with all the tech available to them, this should be relatively easy to automate 90% of the checks.
