Applied August 6th, still pending. First renewal.

Applied July 16, finally approved November 14. Second renewal, no interview required.

I applied for a second renewal in August, 2018, and it was applied this week (Nov 19, 2018) - no interview and no activation needed. I used the mail-in via Canada (to have the fee in C$ - it makes no difference in processing time). The problem now is the postal strike. No mail from the US is coming into Canada. Nexus cards are sent by regular mail. My card lasts officially until late December and then I have 6 months more. <redacted>.

Applied July 25, conditionally approved November 20. Interview required (scheduled for next month).

Thanks for this thread. I applied circa July 25 and was just approved last week. Mine expired Nov 13, and because I live where there's no US pre-clearance it is a pain to get to an interview... it is my first renewal and I have to do an interview again (grr!). Luckily I am going on a domestic trip in January where I'm connecting through a Canadian airport which has pre-clearance so I'm doing it on my 3 hour stopover.

Knowing that I have a 6 month 'grace' period is great though... I'll be sure to print my "Conditional Approval" letter (when I get it, still waiting for that and I know I'm conditionally approved because I kept checking online) and bring it with me.

Not travelling to the US until April so I should be good, but I really find the NEXUS card to be just as beneficial in Canadian airports travelling domestically to avoid any line surprises.

Applied August 6th, approved November 28th. No interview required - first renewal.
So, closer to 4 months.

Renewed early Sept (10th or so).

Approved Nov 20-something. No interview required.

Somewhere about 12 weeks for renewal.

Renewed Sept 10th. Approved yesterday, no interview needed.

Applied for our Nexus renewal on 8/7 for 2 adults and 2 kids (first time renewal for all of us)...
Finally on 11/28 received approval for 2 adults and our 13 year old, plus received conditional approval for 10 year old on 11/28 as well. Was really hoping we'd all get the approval - looks like now we'll need to make an appointment.

Thanks to everyone sharing in this thread...it has been interesting to see the processing times, and track it against ours.

Applied August 30, approved with no interview Nov 14.

No card in sight. I think it is the postal strike issue here.

Edit: Card arrived Nov 29.

We're US citizens living in the U.S.

Renewed: 09/06/18 (1st time renewal)

Approved: 11/15/18 (10 weeks after renewal) (no interviews required)

Rec'd in mail: 11/23/18 (day after Thanksgiving)


I hadn't checked the website in a while so I didn't know we were approved til the new cards came in the mail. I wish they sent an email when your renewal status changes.

Expiration Date of first nexux card: Dec 22, 2018.

Applied for renewal around Sept 22, 2018.

Got notice today that I was conditionally approved - must get interview! is that a random thing - most posts on this thread are not associated with an interview. My wife and sister-in-law earlier this year were approved without the need for an interview?

Renewal applied Sept. 25
Conditional approval Nov 29
unfortunately, I will need an interview but I also need to correct an error I made in application (may be related as previous renewal did not need an interview).

Renewal applied Aug 13.
Approval (not conditional) received Dec 3.

Canadian citizen.
First renewal.

16 weeks elapsed.

Looking forward to getting the card soon!

Put in my renewal August 31st... still waiting. My colleague renewed at the beginning of September and saw an approval last week. Hers had expired and mine expires in January. There seems to be no rhyme or reason.
