[MENTION=179301]skemsley[/MENTION], sorry am still living in the past! Yes, it's been more than 90 days now and we are still waiting on conditional approval.
I guess i will reach out to them via email and see. I am actually applying after GE. I had to email them and the next day it got approved!

Let's try it here as well

*I just called 1-877-227-5511 stated on a message I got after I submitted status check request on TTP website and it played a recorded message that, "Due to lapse of appropriation our CBP center is closed. Hello we are closed!".

I also noticed that the Canadian website is showing a wait time of 39 days now for Nexus, I think I saw 35 earlier.

I guess we need to wait a bit longer. Did anyone else have their application approved during this shutdown?

[MENTION=905371]gulrajb[/MENTION] What email address do you have to check on this, is it with Canadian border services or US? I assumed that the US government shutdown is causing a lot of the problems here, the Canadian wait times may not account for any work stoppages for the US part of the approval.

Hi,

I contacted the US side.
By email, I mean this page which emails them:

help.cbp.gov/app/ask

Quick update:

US CBP responded pretty quickly and basically told me to wait for 3-5 months.

They referred to the following page:

https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/1332

Applied November 20th, still waiting for conditional approval. Canadian here.

This only works if you're already conditionally approved, which is what most of us seem to be waiting for. Since the conditional approval has to pass through both governments, that's likely at a standstill until the shutdown is over.

Mine still is "Pending Review" after about 2 1/2 months. My understanding is it's in the hands of the Canadian authorities as I have Global Entry already.

I applied on 11/29 and my status just changed to 'Conditionally Approved' today (1/9) so it appears that even with the shutdown they are still processing applications.

Applied on 10/29 and still waiting.

Thanks [MENTION=913313]jadore714[/MENTION], that gives me hope.

Mine might be delayed maybe because I travelled to 3 non-NAFTA countries in 2018.

Applied in July, payment taken in early September. Not a peep since then. I applied via paper (which I am regretting).

If you applied on paper, the onus is on yourself to contact them and find the status.
They don't automatically call you when it's ready.
Some people who applied by paper were conditionally approved for 1-2 months before they phoned in and found out about it.

They don't send a letter saying I should schedule an interview? Seems like a flawed system. According to the CBSA it says I should get a letter: https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/prog/nex...apier-eng.html

Well, I am getting in touch anyway. Hopefully, things will move.

Folks,

While some natural deviation is obviously OK, please let's keep the focus of this discussion on NEXUS first time applications processing timelines.

If you wish to further discuss issues with NEXUS paper applications, please do so in The NEXUS Information Thread.

Thank you,

Regarding the time it takes to find out if you're conditionally approved, you'll see in this thread that some people who did the paper application only found out about it by calling in.
I was wrong to say that they don't send a letter, as some people did receive a letter. But you should call in.
