I agree. I am almost at 9 weeks. I was hoping to have this done before I went to Vancouver next month. I gave myself 12 weeks thinking that would be plenty of time. Particularly since my Global Entry approval took only about 10 days earlier this year.

Can't imagine what the delay is.

I've been waiting since May 20th. I was hoping it would be quick as I wanted to use PreCheck.

I call CBSA and they told me is now take 3 month since the day I made the payment. So he told me I should get an answer in mid August. I am not sure if that true or not what ever he told me.

Mine took ~45 days back in March. My Wife applied in May, she's just over 60 days and waiting.

FWIW, my interview at Boeing Field Seattle last week was great. Very friendly agents from the US and Canadian sides.

Good thing I found this thread. I've been checking pretty often, and it's only been 2 weeks. Guess I probably have another 4-6 weeks before I get a response.

Does it matter what area you are in? I'm in the Detroit area.

Holy moly! I was thinking I'd save some money by going for Nexus to get GE. It's almost not worth the wait, I think the GE wait is about 4 weeks. Oh well.
