Heading up in late December so I'm hoping my family and I can combine it all. Otherwise it will be a 6 hour trip to the border on its own. Applied on October 3.

Sure; both Niagara Falls and Buffalo Ft-Erie are mid-november dates. (~Nov 15 ish)

Applied for my whole family (4 of us) on 10/7
Today my youngest daughter (3 yrs old) was conditionally approved (~7.5 weeks later)

Appointments still available in Blaine, WA for this coming Sunday (12/4) although they seem to be disappearing fast. Hoping the rest of us get approved soon...

October 3. Applied for a family of four, one after another
November 30. Conditional Approval for all four.

Questions:

1) Do I need to book four separate appointments or can I just book two consecutive ones for my wife and I and the kids tag along?

Answered: Special Instructions: PLEASE NOTE: 1. Iris Scans are conducted at this office. 2. You must schedule an appointment reservation for each applicant in your family or domicile. If there are not enough appointments available to accommodate the members of your family or domicile on a particular day, then please select another day. The appointments are not required to be in sequential time slots, and the members of your family or domicile will be taken care of at the earliest booked time slot. 3. Applicants utilizing the Visa Waiver program must present at the interview a valid I-94W and/or proof of ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization).

2) Fingerprints for the kids. Is that a requirement in order for them to use GE?

Applied: September 27th
Conditionally Approved: November 23rd
Interview: November 29th in Niagara Falls NY, Approved

Was hardly an "interview". First talked to Canadian customs officer who gave me instructions on how to use the nexus card at the bridges, then talked to two American customs officers: First one took my picture, fingerprints, and verified that my address and employment were up to date. Second one gave me information on how to activate Global Entry, use TSA pre check, what times the nexus lanes were open on all of the Buffalo/Niagara Falls area bridges, and she casually asked me why I wanted a nexus pass. Was out of there within 10 minutes and got the final approval email about 10 minutes after leaving the enrollment center. They said they mail the cards from Vermont, so I don't think it will take much longer for me to receive mine.

How long does it take for a Nexus application to get approved & get card?
 
How long does it take for a Nexus application to get approved end to end with card in hand?

Just wondering since my application still says "pending review." I know there's an interview as well...
