Interview scheduled in Blaine, WA in 1 month from now. I would have preferred the remote interview to save me the drive but none available.
Just noticed the above. This should be re-worded imho. Instead of
Attend it should be
Schedule.
I had the interview in Blaine this morning. Extremely quick -less than 10 minutes-. The front-desk woman asked me for my Nexus interview letter -which I did not print-, for a split second I panicked. However, she was able to get my TSA Pre number from my Global Entry card, that was good enough for her. A few minutes later the US agent called me to his booth and asked for my US passport, US driver's license, Global Entry card, US naturalization certificate, and my foreign passport. Glad I actually thought to bring all of them. I provided my updated postal address (when I applied 18 months ago I was living at a different address), they took my fingerprints, they asked if I've ever been arrested, why I want to have Nexus, asked if my live-in partner already has Nexus (yes) and done. The Canadian agent sitting right by the US agent just had me read a list of things to remember to remain compliant, and then briefly explained how to use the Nexus lane. My TTP Application Status change to APPROVED about 1 hour later.
Honestly imho no reason for this appointment to have to be in-person since US authorities already have everything they asked from me today -including fingerprints- and the US agent literally handed them to the Canadian agent in front of me.
Glad that this 18-month process is now finally over. I didn't think this day would come. We are celebrating with a day trip to Wreck Breach west of Vancouver on the first sunny weekend after my Nexus card arrives.
