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!

Registered just to add this data point as this thread has been a very useful reference point; thanks! Now I just have to figure out when to interview, given that our world has changed a bit since last August...

In the US.
Applied September 9, 2019.
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.

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!
