I submitted my application on June 30th and still "pending review" I called the CBSA on Nov 27th and the very nice person on the other end looked me up and said I was past through the Canadian side and was pick up by the CBP on Aug 13th (32 working days) and it may still take 4-5 months from then as they were behind.
and
I'm still waiting @ almost 7 months now

My wife and daughter both applied separately on Nov 18th and were both approved by Jan 3rd !!!! 33 working days

So what you are saying is basically what Canadian side claims all the time - that the delay is only because of American side. On the side note - how do you guys get "nice persons" on the other end? Whenever I called and asked to check the file the best answer I got was "wait until you see conditional approval". Other answers were less pleasant. Nobody wants even look at my file.
6 months since July 8 and counting...

Nothing yet. Still pending. By the sounds of the other comments here for June-Aug 2019 apps, I could be waiting a while still.

I applied on July 14th, still pending, I called Canadian side yesterday, they were very polite and asked for my phone number name and last name, then the officer said that they passed me in September and that the US side "picked it up" on November the 1st

I called the Canadian office yesterday, they were very nice and told me the wait times are expected to be 7 months now.

7 months from now or 7 months from start? It's been more than 7 for a lot of people so I'm guessing it's the later?

7 months from when I applied (Sept 15), still seems low based on what I've read here. They didn't mention anything about when it was turned over to the US for processing.

Data point:

Applied for my newborn son on 10/13/2019
Conditional approval on 12/10/2019
Interviewed/Approved in Blaine, WA on 12/21/2019

US citizens. Both my husband and I were already NEXUS members before applying for our son. We originally scheduled the interview for 1/22/2020, but other interview times popped up throughout the week. 12/21 was the most convenient time, but we could have easily scheduled it for as early as 12/11 if we had the flexibility to do so.

Me (Malaysian with green card) applied on Oct 29, still pending
My son (us citizen 3 yr old) applied on Nov 5, just got pre-approved today 1/13
