Applied May 30. Still pending - September 9. Possible my frequent travel throughout the world delays? I dunno, but wow, this seems long! Applied May 15. Still pending - September 11. I applied as Canadian, but maybe it's so delayed because I was travelling a lot (50+ times) before getting Canadian citizenship. |
Applied July 8, still waiting.

This is a great and useful thread. I applied August 21 so it's been 20 business days. Based on this list, looks like I should keep waiting.
I had like seven addresses because I've moved a lot, and getting them all together was a pain because I honestly forgot them all and had to find old leases and emails. I wonder if that will make it go slower. I recently traveled from the US to France with a stopover in Germany, and on the way home I got an SSSS and they checked me for bombs. So I wonder if I am some list somewhere somehow. I am excited for TSA precheck though. For years I keep thinking how nice it would be to have it, and now I've finally taken the step to get it. Easy travel through Canada will be great too. |

Applied July 24th 2019
Conditionnal Approval September 17th 2019 (D+39 business days) Interview September 18th 2019 (D+40) Approved Application September 19th 2019 (D+41) If you want to have your interview right away the thing to do is to check the calendar often, they open last minutes interviews and you have to be ready to leave your place! I was refreshing the page every 15 minutes and at 12.40pm i saw a spot for the 2pm interview, i took all the documents and i jumped in my car! Google told me 55 minutes drive + border wait (nexus offices in Washington States are 10 kms away from the border) and at 1.45 pm i was on the parking lot lol When i pre-register with the front lady, i wasn't even on the list but because i had the letter + number confirmation, i was good to go! And she told me, i always told people to do that but nobody trust me, and thank you, you are the proof that it's working !! So now, guys you know what to do if you don't want to wait 1.5-3 month for an interview! (it's the time frame here in Vancouver or Whashington State) |
Applied August 8 2019.
Conditionally approved September 27 2019 Interview scheduled for November 26 @ Pearson :( |
64 business days...
I applied for my newborn son on June 30th, when the wait was 25 business days... Still pending review. My son was 1.5 months old then, he's now 4.5 months old...
|
Applied on June 24 and still waiting for the initial approval. The fact that I am a Canadian permanent resident on a European passport, and frequent trips to Asia and South America likely delayed the case
|
Applied on 8.14 for both toddlers. None has been approved yet. We were hoping can do the interview on our way back to the US via Calgary. But it looks like it won’t happen now.
|
I applied solo on TTP website on July 8. That is almost three months.
Still waiting for conditional approval. Takes much longer than 40 business days. |
GF and I both applied August 3rd.
GF: conditional approval September 25th (39 business days) Interview November 9th, card received November 19th. Me: Still patiently waiting...... |
Full timeline
7/5 - Application
8/29 - Conditional approval. Got an email indicating my status was updated. Interestingly my address was missing my apartment number on the conditional approval letter. 9/15 - Approval with interview at YYZ. No questions were asked, I handed them my conditional approval notice, my Canadian passport, US driver's license and my H1-B I-797. We made some small talk and they asked if I had any questions. All were friendly officers. My address was again missing my apartment number on the approval letter. Got the email indicating my approval while still in the NEXUS office. 9/20 - Card arrived in mail in NYC. Apartment number was on the envelope, despite not being on the conditional approval and approval letters. |
