Just applied for renewal. Didn't realize until a couple of weeks ago that I expire in April 2024!!! THEN noticed the 12-14 month advertised wait time!!!! Is that still accurate??

So the grace period thing....my card will continue to work when driving northbound (into Canada) and southbound (into U.S.) through the border even after it expires in April?

I also applied (first time) for the wife and kids (ages 21 and 15). I presume an interview is a must for all of them considering they'll need to capture iris scans, etc. Yes?
