Does it sound like I can do a walk in for this?
 

I renewed my daughters nexus who is 14. She is conditionally approved and needs an interview.

I’d imagine it’s for an iris scan or photo update from her infant photo, but no details were provided as to why she needs an interview.

I’m wondering if whatever it is, if it can be accommodated by a walk in appointment. I can’t imagine they have much to ask her!

It’s a strange process. We are a family of 4, and I renewed all 4. My wife was approved in 3 weeks with a slightly expired card, my older daughter (16) was approved right away with an active card, and I took 14 months for approval with a slightly expired card.

The interview is required for a renewal on an active card.

Procedure requires an appointment. Walk-ins are YMMV and can vary even within same enrollment centre (eg no-shows/individual officer’s work ethic).

Ok, thanks. It might be on our route anyways Monday so I’ll give it a try.

I called the general questions line to see and they said the same thing, and they confirmed/volunteered without me asking that the grace period for her interview is now 5 years on her renewal, so that’s good news.

Card arrived today from 1300 Pennsylvania address. That's a wrap!

Yes, thank you. Too many numbers for me to keep up haha

Thanks so much for posting this. I wanted to make sure the Buffalo / Fort Erie office was still functioning, and this gives me hope! Was this a renewal or a new application? Am I correct in assuming it didn't require an interview because the Fort Erie office is closed?

Yes, this was my first renewal and approved without interview. It's hard to know the reason for approval without interview but there could be several, including closure of the original interview location. Regardless, I'm happy to not have to interview.

While my conditional approval for Nexus renewal is now over 3 years, and I had an appointment scheduled for December,
today I applied to renew my APEC card, It was instantly approved, and then a few hours later I received notification
that my Nexus renewal status had changed from "Conditional approval pending interview" to approved.
Only 3 years!!!

3 years? Your patience is admirable. Congrats.

Applying for or renewing APEC seems like a proven shortcut to resurrect dormant NEXUS applications and those waiting for interviews. Could it be that simple?

​​​​​​​Maybe this is why it took 45 days to receive

I'm still waiting for my new card. Used to only take 7-10 business days to receive the new card.

Card arrived today, about three and a half weeks after approval.

Yes, this is the new normal. Mine took 18 days (I'm in Houston, TX). And I believe there's a poster here still waiting over a month.

One thing I noticed after receiving my new card is how shiny and fresh the new sleeve sent with the card looked. Compared to the ashy one I have now, it looks so good.

I suppose I look just as ashy as the sleeve now after six years :(
