They won't discuss it. They're massively backed up and angry and instead of considering that people actually paid for this service they should be working on the June/July backlog instead of clearing people who applied afterwards. The whole thing would be a joke if it wasn't so frustrating.

When we asked why they're continuing to process other months normally and letting the summer months continue waiting they got very angry. Either something is up with those two months or they're really THAT disorganized.

I honestly don't understand what is wrong with June/July applications? Like everyone else I'm waiting also for more than five months. No help from CBSA at all. Unless something happened to their computers at summer time that resulted in file corruption I don't know what else could be. It is drastically wrong that we are waiting for so long while people that applied in September and October got approved already. Oh, well..

He had his appointment yesterday (Dec. 10) at Derby Line, Vermont, and he was immediately approved. Though he has to go to Montreal to do the iris scan registration.

My friend applied mid-July is also in the “still pending”. Probably not worth a call? Your two DPs show some very unpleasant agents.

Think it’s worth showing up in-person to a NEXUS office? We’re close-ish to the airport.

Applied 10/15, conditionally approved 12/12 -- 40 business days

Again, nobody knows why summer files continue to be delayed while new applications are being processed. I don't think either CBSA or CBP will tell you the reason for this. The CBP website has changed timeline for NEXUS from being 3-5 months to 6 months. CBSA said the last time I spoke to them - 7 months. Regardless, I guess one thing is very certain - the wait time for summer files is going to be very long. :(

For indexing and future search purposes, recent posts whose focus was whether iris scans for NEXUS members are being replaced by facial recognition, as opposed to reporting approval processing timelines, were moved to the The NEXUS Information Thread.

As there is absolutely no way to receive an update on the processing times from either CBSA or CBP, I would like to ask those people who applied for Nexus in June and July, i.e. more than 5 months ago, to post their status update once they receive conditional approval. Although processing times are different from one person to another, this will give the rest of us some indication as to when can we expect our files to be processed.

Where does it say the timeline is changed? It still says 34 days as far as I can see.

And they said 7 months from which date? It has been nearly 7 months since my friend applied at this point.

Read my post again. I said CBP site, not CBSA. As Canadian side continue to say that this delay is all because American side, then CBP information is what you should look at. Not CBSA. Look here https://help.cbp.gov/s/sidebar-top-5...language=en_US Press the button "I have submitted my Trusted Traveler application for review. Did CBP receive my application?" and read their info. This is what it says: "If your application status is "Pending Review" then your application has been received and is being processed. Please note that processing times vary by applicant, but on average you can expect your application to be processed for Global Entry and FAST within 6 months, SENTRI 12 months and NEXUS 6 months"
Since I frequent this site regularly I can attest that this timelines have changed recently. Before it said NEXUS 3-5 months. Apparently 7 months is from when you submitted an application. But that continues to increase constantly.

Besides, if you are looking at CBSA site it still says 39 days. I don't know where did you see 34 days. But this applies only to those who submit their applications now. Not to us, who had a misfortune to submit applications in June/July.

I think the issue is that I'm looking at it on mobile, which seems to be a disaster. Your link goes nowhere for me on mobile. I'll look at it on a computer when I can. Thanks for the information.
