Wife's (applied 5/23) came this morning. Ended up taking back to back appointments at the end of August at the downtown Vancouver location instead of Blaine. Wife wanted to do some shopping and gets the iris scan out of the way too.

What is the subject line and From email address of the conditional approval? I like to setup a filter rule to text my phone once it hits my email. Thanks.

If, as I suspect, it is the same as the Global Entry notifications, the sender is [email protected] and the subject line will read:

Didn't change from my original GE notification in 2011 either :).

Anybody have a timeline for post-interview processing? My interview was 16 days ago and it still says "Interview scheduled" under status on my GOES account. I was told it would be 2 weeks.

My 7 month old son "interviewed" on June 25 at YVR and GOES says the same thing; still no card. So we're now 38 days post-interview and still waiting.

Applied: 1/11/16
Conditional approval: 1/30/16

I got it the following day as stated in my previous post.

Applied: 7/14/2016
Conditional approval: --/--/----

I was checking the GOES website daily until I found this thread. It seems 9-11 weeks is the norm for conditional approval during the summer months. Meh.

Just called up the YUL Nexus office where I did my interview and asked what was going on. They said they'd look into it and call me back. 30 minutes later I received my approval email.

It is always good to call your interview office. Sometimes s/he forgets to click approve which causes your file remain in "Interview scheduled" status.

Finally-11 weeks and 1 day
 
This morning I finally received my Nexus pre-approval letter online. It took 11 weeks and 1 day from the day I applied (May 18). Fortunately, I'm vacating in Canada this weekend so I was able to secure an appointment at Blaine, WA for Monday on my way home. Yeah!

Good luck to all of you waiting for your pre-approval. I suspect the delay was due to the extremely long TSA airport lines in mid-May that caused a surge in applications during that time period.

Congratulations. Make sure to allow extra time returning to the U.S. unless you have Global Entry already.
