Yes, most likely. Probably didn't help since my name on passport is different than my name on green card.

Oh, gotcha, but all I know you must be a permanent resident of the US or Canada before applying for Nexus

Me thinks this is just, like you said, a theoretical number. Maybe average but with our luck I have a feeling we will wait much longer. I'm still waiting from July 8, 2019. Still the same boring "pending review" status although the PASSID has already been assigned. Has been like this for 194 calendar days.

Any point in calling to check in on my families application? I.m thinking not.
I applied for myself, wife and two kids on August 1st 2019.......and we are all still waiting for conditional approval as of 01/20/2020.

This time frame seems similar to delays I've been reading that others have experienced .

Tks folks

This time frame seems way off the delays I've been reading that others have experienced .

There's absolutely no point, they will tell you to wait and that the wait time is over 7 month now, and that the only place they go over the applications is Washington DC and there's no way to call them haha

My friend is at 219 days and counting. Approximately the same for redress and flag removal as well. No end in sight there but will update for y'all when he finally gets processed.
