Yes, of course, hence why I applied for NEXUS. However, had I applied much closer to my GE expiry date, a 10+ week delay in NEXUS approval to get the interview, with many locations being near fully booked for the next 6 months historically, would possibly have meant me not having GE privileges at all for some intervening time period between my GE expiry date and my NEXUS interview date.

CBP update on processing times
Hello! I've been following this chat to see if anyone from May has been granted an interview time. I applied on 5/25 and am going on 8 weeks.
In a call to the Canada Border Services Agency, I was told 8 weeks is standard now, with some applications taking 10-12 weeks. The woman I spoke to didn't (or wasn't allowed) say why the wait was so long when I asked her. I hope this information is helpful to others sitting in the "no movement" line.

My passport is expiring next year. My interview is scheduled for this coming up October. Will I need to go through the application process again with the new passport.

Entered my PASSID into my GOES acct and no applications appeared. CTSA said they entered it in June, and it should show a pending application.
Called the GOES Helpline, and they said that it'll only show Application Pending when they finish the review. Couldn't tell me if the US hadn't finished reviewing, hadn't started, or if they even received it from Canada. Currently 8 weeks without anything showing in GOES.

10 Weeks and Counting
My wife and I applied for Nexus cards on May 18. She received her pre-approval on June 28 (5 weeks, 6 days after application). As of today I'm still "Pending Review" (10 weeks, 1 day after my application).

Woohoo! Finally, after 11 weeks plus one day, I received my NEXUS conditional approval. I was one of those mid-May applicants who's been waiting a while. Was surprised to see the conditional approval letter appear (and dated) on a Saturday no less.

As far as "close", I live in Austin TX so that isn't happening, lol. But on a plus note, I was pleasantly surprised to find quite a few available appointment slots (including locations that perform iris scans) anywhere from the next couple of days to a month out. I've been looking forward to another Canadian vacation to get a respite from the TX heat, so I easily booked something in the next few weeks.
