For those of you that received your cards within 5-7 business days, did you status change to approved in GOES before those 5-7 business days or during that time period? I had an interview in Edmonton on April 1 and it is still showing as application in process with interview scheduled. I have a trip scheduled to LAX on April 15 and was hoping to have the card by then but will it be sent out before the application changes to approved.

My Goes account changed somewhere within 24 hours after my interview. I did not check it right after my interview but the next day and it was changed to approved, including little blurb on the bottom regarding Global Entry. For all intents and purposes I was now a Nexus member and could have put my Known Traveller Number into my reservation. I did not try to do that though and waited until I activated my card.

Applied: April 13
Conditionally Approved: April 30
Interview: May 21 in Niagara Falls

For my wife:
Applied: April 13
Conditionally Approved: April 30

Approved: May 5th in Detroit. (Original appointment was June 15th but rescheduled)
Pending receiving of card, told 2-3 weeks.

Change of citizenship for existing Nexus card:
Walked into Toronto Airport service center on 28th April afternoon with my brand new Canadian passport, 10 minutes wait to be called into the counter.

The Canadian officer was under the impression that it has to be done online, I said that it can be done online if it is just the passport but this is a change of citizenship which has to be done personally at a service center. The US officer agreed with me and they updated my details.

They kept my existing card and I had to pay USD 25 for a new card. It was kind of funny when the CBP officer took me through the US immigration lines to the US customs cashier for the payment. People in the lineups were staring at me thinking that I am probably being escorted to be deported or arrested. We had to wait for the cashier to come back from his break and had a pleasant chat about our families, home towns etc waiting for the cashier.

And the I just received the new card today, exactly a week after the update.

Applied: February 22
Conditionally Approved: February 27
Interview/Approval: April 25 (Blaine, WA)

Applied: April 15
Conditionally Approved: May 5
Interview/Approval: May 9 in Detroit

I was originally scheduled for the first available interview on July 1, but constant checking allowed me to move it to June 16, then May 14 and finally May 9.

Global Entry was added to my passport at the interview.

Applied: April 24 2015
Conditionally approved: May 12 2015
Interview: May 14 in Blaine, WA

Blaine has quite a few openings as of right now, including tomorrow. No refreshes necessary.

The Seattle (Boeing Field) enrollment center, however, wasn't available until 10/28, so I'll be renting a car and making a day of it. Might as well knock out the iris scans while I'm there.

Applied: March 23 2015
Conditionally Approved: May 14 2015
Interview: Currently June 26, 2015 (Seattle)

Somewhat disappointed because at this point, even if I get to reschedule to as early as Monday, I probably won't get the card before my next flight. Oh well.

Curious why my conditional approval took 7.5 weeks and everybody else's seems to be < 3 weeks.

Applied : March 25 (via mail to Montreal)
Credit card charged April 1
Conditionally Approved : April 25th
Interview/Approval : May 11th (Champlain, NY - Trudeau dates earlier than August impossible despite multiple attempts)

I was able to enter my KTN on my reservation before getting and activating my card and got TSA PreCheck. Worth a shot. I wouldn't try GE though.

Hello,
Long time listner, first time caller...

I have a couple questions about the online application on the GOES site. Do they charge your credit card in US$? I will be submitting our applications either tonight or tomorrow.

Also, does anyone have any insight on wait times for Calgary and Sweetgrass at the moment (just do a quick check on first available dates)? We are travelling in mid-November and hoping to have the cards before then.

Thank you in advance.

Yes they charge you in USD. I applied in April and they charged me immediately. Still waiting for my Approval.

Thanks pmich. Do you remember when in April you applied?

April 21st. I check the website 5 times a day and i still haven't been approved. Very frustrating because I had hoped to have my pass by the beginning of July when i travel.
