I'm going on 8 months and haven't seen anything posted in a while? Have they shut down conditional approvals now? Not that we're going anywhere for a while..

Success!

Applied August 14, 2019

Conditionally Approved: April 15, 2020

8 long months and by the time my interview is completed it’ll be August 17, 2020. So that’s a whole year!

Congrats! I applied Aug 28, 2019 and am still pending review. Good to hear that they are still processing applications despite the pandemic. Based on your timelines, I should expect my approval to come in end of this month? Or even later since they are dealing with a backlog and limited staff. In any case, I'll definitely past the 1 year mark from application to receiving the NEXUS card. What a joke!

You have 485 days, 16 months, from the date of your original application to complete your enrollment interview.

Any recent approval or any change in timelines? Is it still taking 8 months to get the approval? I applied on Dec-15-2019 and waiting

Still waiting on conditional approval.

When I spoke to someone at the Blaine, WA office about a month ago, they estimated an 8-month wait time. Currently at 158 days, or just over 5 months.

I'll be surprised if I'm approved before May 2020.

Just received Conditional Approval yesterday. 240 days. Now it's another waiting game for an available appointment.

Here's another data point for everyone --

Applied September 6, 2019. Received conditional approval May 8, 2020 (245 days).

frenchpotato May 9, 2020 1:06 pm

Here are more data points:
US applicants applied on 2019.07.05.
Conditionally approved on:
2019.08.29 (1st kid)
2019.09.12 (2nd kid)
2019.09.22 (3rd kid)
2020.02.15 (dad)
2020.05.09 (mom)

Multiple calls and emails to both Canadian and US sides didn't help much, but they were all nice, nevertheless.

Registered just to add these data points as this thread has assuaged much anxiety from waiting for so long; much thanks!

Applied Aug 28, 2019. Received conditional approval May 1, 2020. I'm hoping to drag out the scheduling of the interview till a later time as I have no intentions to visit/transit via the US anytime soon due to COVID.

Update:
Applied September 15, 2019.

Looking to schedule an interview for the last part of June.
