Application for a one year old infant that’s been pending for 17 months now. Called a Nexus office who refused to look up the individual application, and said it can generally take up to 20 months for an application to process. US citizen family with both married and cohabiting parents and sibling being Nexus members.

Applied in May 2022 and still waiting. I called both the CBP and CBSA NEXUS lines. The CBP line was extremely confrontational and was rude from the offset. I asked them if they had any additional information from me, they called me a liar, and hung up on me when I said FOIA. Later, I called the CBSA line and they told me I had passed the Canadian background check in June 2022 and my application was only waiting for the US side to pass.
I already have Global Entry and that only took 4 months to process, so I couldn't possibly imagine why it would now take over a year for the CBP to do my background check. Lesson learned: don't bother calling CBP, just call the CBSA NEXUS line. |
Oddly enough I've had a similar case. Applied last year, called CBSA and was told they finished processing and that it was waiting for CBP. Also a long-time GE member. Never found a line to talk to a real person though, but maybe that was for the best :)

Here are some revised data points based on my wife and myself:
We both applied on March 05, 2022. I received conditional approval on March 11, 2022. My wife had to wait for an extended period to receive her conditional approval, which finally came on April 28, 2023. I waited until my wife received her conditional approval before scheduling the interview to avoid having to travel to the Blaine center twice. We finally had our interview on July 03, 2023. We arrived 30 minutes early, and the reception lady was still able to check us in and she asked us for our interview letter, password, driver's license, and naturalization certificate. We waited until our names were called and then proceeded to the interview station. The U.S. officer conducting the interview was very pleasant. They confirmed our basic information and provided detailed explanations about the Nexus program. We then switched to the Canadian officer, who patiently explained how the Nexus lane should work and highlighted important details. The entire interview process lasted approximately 15-20 minutes, and we received the approval notification as we were walking back to our car. Both of us received the approval notification immediately after leaving the center. We will provide an update once we receive our Nexus cards. |
Has anyone recently applied for a new Nexus card? Just wondering how long it took for the conditional approval?
On the TTP website it says new applications are treated within 12-14 months, but I assume most of that is waiting for the in person interview? |

Few data-points based on my whole family:
Myself Applied Feb 14 2020 Conditional Approval April 2 2020 Cancelled April 3 2022 (no interviews available yet) Re-Applied May 1 2022 Conditional Approval June 7 2022 Interviewed November 18 2022 Received Card December 2022 Father Applied July 24 2022 Conditional Approval Feb 7 2023 Mother Applied April 26 2022 Still Pending Truly all over the place, although I imagine given that I'm Canadian-born and young, there's less to comb through. |
Just got conditionally approved 2 hours ago at 6:40pm EDT.
Applied: May 11, 2022 Conditional approval: August 8, 2023 |
Also, I got the option to choose between an in-person interview and a remote interview, but no dates were available for remote interviews. Do all NEXUS applicants get the option to select a remote interview these days or is it only some people? I have Global Entry, if that helps.

Remote interviews are currently not available for NEXUS enrollment interviews.

Good to know, thank you! However, I'm still curious if everyone gets the option to schedule a remote interview (despite there being none available) or are some first-time NEXUS applicants required to do an in-person interview?
