Update:
Applied for family of 3 : 5/13/2022 (GE members, First time Nexus)
Conditional Approval : 6/27/2022
Interviews(Blaine, WA): 7/6, 7/8, 7/8 (Spent hours refreshing and grabbing earlier appointments. changed them about 10 times for each of us ultimately bringing us all from December to 7/6(wife), 7/8(daughter) and 7/12(myself). I went with my wife on 7/6 and asked if they could take me in as a walk-in. they refused. Went again on 7/8 with my daughter and asked again to take me as walk-in, they did and I was done the same day.
Portal status changed to Approved right after the interviews for all of us.
Current status: Waiting for the cards.
Have a trip to Canada on the 22nd. Any chance we'll all get our cards by the 21st?

Yes, Still had between 2-3 years left on GE. Right after approval of Nexus, GE disappeared from our TTP accounts. They said GE was still valid until we activate the Nexus cards, but after Nexus activation, GE cards will be automatically deactivated, so we should shred them.

It's definitely possible that you'll get your card before your trip. I got my first Nexus card this year. Had my interview the afternoon of April 20 and it arrived in my mailbox during the afternoon of May 2 (roughly 12 days total). Interview was in Niagara Falls, NY and I live in Toronto.

I applied for Nexus in June 2021 and am still waiting for conditional approval. My GE expired this month. I couldn't put in a renewal due to my Nexus application pending from a year ago. Kicking myself for deciding to 'upgrade' to Nexus. :\

9 weeks still no conditional approval
I'm a US, GE, young engineer with great credit score and no sketchy travel history. I applied for nexus May 31st 2022 still no response for conditional approval. Any idea when I'll get approved?

Tomorrow? Next year? Nobody knows. I've been waiting along with my niece since mid-2021. Neither of us have anything that would raise eyebrows and both are GE. Some on this thread have applied way after me and been approved and some are waiting longer than me. It's all a big mystery.
