Wow, that's a long time to get approved. I applied September 2022 and barely got approved this week, not as long as you though.

am I reading it wrong? 450 days is about I year and 3 months. You applied sep 2022 and approved December 2023. Isn't that about the same? Why sounds like you are much faster than 450 days :)

Canadian Citizen + US LPR adding a data point:
Applied: April 25 2023. Waiting for conditional approval.

Wow. I didn't realize conditional approval can take that long! I was wondering when I should apply since I don't really need it at the moment. How long does one have to complete the interview after receiving conditional approval before the application is deemed withdrawn/rescinded?

I wish that statement gave a definitive answer as to whether first time applicants get that five year allowance too

From the Canada Border Services Agency news release:

Quote:

After being conditionally approved for NEXUS, applicants have up to five years to complete both the U.S. and Canadian interviews. A decision regarding their NEXUS application will not be made until both interviews are complete.

Which ones reimburse NEXUS? I have one that reimburses GE or Precheck.

Thanks for the info. If I have family members applying at the same time, is it possible to have all the interviews done on the same day (ie: back-to-back-to-back)?

Chase Sapphire Reserve. Check with your credit card issuer. For the longest time, Chase SR only reimburses GE and PreCheck. They now do for at least a year.

I think all the Chase cards that used to reimburse GE or Precheck now also reimburse NEXUS. I didn't check them all, but the United cards (Explorer, Quest, Club) and the IHG Premier card do. I think there is at least one other bank that has a card that now reimburses for NEXUS, but I don't recall which one.

Thanks! My spouse actually has an UA Explorer card. I guess that makes it a no brainer to apply.
