Replying to my own message from Feb 16 with an update. Today my daughter was approved and I can now set up an interview for her. I applied for her Aug 2021 (She was born in July 2021) and now today March 9, 2023 she received her email. I'd say that was about 19months. Couldn't be happier as myself, my wife and other daughter all have them and have been waiting on this anxiously for full family approval !! (Interview in May)

So it took them 19 months to realize that a month old might not have committed any troubles. Jokes aside, congratulations!!!

Same here. I am a Sept 2021 applicant as well. Called the phone number people mentioned here, and cbsa told me that they approved my application a while back and Americans are holding up. She asked me for my passID, rather than the application number. So I guess my application is not lost or forgotten for now.

speculation here but it looks to me CBP are approving nexus for Canadian to go to US really quickly but not approving US to go to Canada to create pressure for Canada.

Look up "Canada says U.S. holding NEXUS travel program 'hostage'"

Applied in August 2021 as first time applicant. Conditional approval today after 18½ months wait. Luckily grabbed an interview slot locally next week after refreshing lots of times.

Partner applied Aug ‘22 and was conditionally approved in Feb and did interview in March. So just under 8 months start to finish.

More luck to reschedule interview the next day. Interview took 10 minutes. Website shows approved when I walk out of the enrollment center.

Just received conditional approval this week. Just over 18 months later. Fortunately appointments in Blaine are relatively available

Glad to see some Sept 2021 applicants got conditional approval.
I applied on Dec 2021, still waiting, if it's 18 months for conditional approval, probably I'll get mine on June 2023.

Finally my turn to post lol. Sept 2021 applicant, just got conditionally approved. Initial enrolment. I live in Saskatchewan. What would be the easiest way of doing the interview for me? Driving down to North Dakota is like 9 hours. Also I need to do it sometime in the first week of May, and Blaine seems to be not feasible

Sault Ste. Marie seems to be available m:pre than most other locations.
