I so much want to hear what happened to elicit this comment... This just screams story time :p (Welcome to FT, BTW)

Related: Has anyone heard of nexus / GE renewal problems if your travel becomes more... interesting? Between MRs and assignments in very sandy places, my passport is starting to look more colorful than last time.

So I was conditionally approved a couple days ago (about a 3 week process)
And I'm trying to book an intereview in Calgary and the first one isn't available until July 25th!?

Wow, that's insane.

I don't even know if I will be on vacation by that point or not.

The NEXUS article on Wikivoyage has some strategies on how to find an earlier appointment date (all of which have been covered on this forum in the past). If there are more strategies, feel free to add them to the guide:

Wait time from interview till approval ?
 
I have been a nexus member for 2+ years , my wife about the same. This morning , i finally took our 3 children for interviews. I only got e mails confirming approval into the program for 2 out of 3 children. The kids are ages 9,5,2. I find this odd , as I know generally speaking you have an e mail almost instantly after the interview notifying you of an account stauts change. Any help ? Thoughts ?
Thank ou

Why not check online in GOES? Emails can get flagged as spam or be delayed.

I tried searching because I know this came up before, but I can't find it.

From what I remember about the other person who had this problem they forgot to do something during the interview. I THINK he phoned the enrollment center and was able to straighten it out.

I tried searching as well , obviously , before posting. I will try and give YYZ enrollment center a call. Thanx. Let me know if any one has any other tips or suggestions.

This was really bothering me, so I flipped through a bunch of pages and found the posts with a guy who had a similar problem. You can refer to sg96's posts on http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/air-c...hread-335.html but I'll quote them here too:

I had my interview on Aug 5 but on the GOES website, the status is still "Interview Scheduled".
I have not heard anything since my interview at YYZ (and still no card in the mail).(

Followed up by:

Just called. Seems they forgot to update my approval. Will be another week or two.. I am typing this as I wait in the t1 customs line.

Let us know what happens Elite!

EliteFlyerYYZ Feb 4, 2013 2:01 pm

Thank you.
Update.
Left message with YYZ at 10:00AM
They called back at 11:00AM and said they would look into it and get back to me.
Im sure , like in the post you quoted me , must just be a technical thing.
They took her prints and put a CBP sticker in her passport , shes 5 ... I Don't see why she wouldn't be approved. Like I said , strange part was other 2 kids got the e mails with account status changes right away.

Hi all,

I just applied for a Nexus card last week, so I don't expect to see the interview option for a while yet, however, I have a question.

I renewed my passport in June of 2008 as it was about to expire. I got married in October of 2009, and changed my name on everything, EXCEPT my passport, since it wasn't near time for renewal. Also, when I travel with my son, it just seemed easier to have the same last name as him.
So now I have an appointment to renew my driver license on September 20th as it expires on October 13th. It's in my married name.
My passport is good until June of 2013, it's in my maiden name.

Is this going to cause me grief? Should I bring a copy of my marriage license with me?
It was seemed like a waste of money to renew my passport just because I got married.
When I fly, I book my tickets under my maiden name.

I'm wondering if I should just scramble to get my passport renewed with my married name before I book the interview?

Did you renew your passport with your married name before the interview? If not, did you encounter any problems?

I was too worried, so I went ahead and renewed my passport in my married name.
I've had my card for about a month now, and have used it 4 or 5 times, and I can't believe I waited this long! LOVE it! :D

I got my original CANPASS (and then, NEXUS) when I was a student. Shouldn't matter - its not like a credit card app where you need a minimum income to be accepted. Just be honest about employment/address history. As a note, look at the application instructions - but you need to put years as a student down (in the employment section, I believe) as well as list any time of unemployment during the previous five years.
