Something similar happend to be at YYZ as well. A week or so after my interview, my GOES status still listed me as pending. I called back and kept getting transferred to the US line as it is the US that finishes the process. 3 days straight of a full mailbox. The next time I called, I explained to the Canadian officer who placed me on hold as she was going to investigate herself. 4 minutes later, she came back on and said the US side forgot to approve the final step on their end. An hour later my GOES status was updated. Strange that there is so much manual processes here. For the record, I am an American without a greencard or landed immigrant status.
Mine is on the outside back cover. Mods, curious if we can run a poll here for inside/outside of the back cover.

Mine was placed on the outside cover of my passport, which does not currently have any security stickers on it. I would be curious if CBP all of use that have it on the back cover had "virgin" covers when we went the GE interview.

Mine is inside, back cover and the agent's demeanor suggested he does that all the time. LAX office for an existing NEXUS member.

Nope. Mine is on the inside back cover. I am not a nexus upgrader.

Mine is on the outside back cover. I had no other programs (like nexus) before GE. I will say I was one of the first to apply at IAH right after the program was announced, back when it was only the initial 3 airports.

As a NEXUS upgrader at JFK with a clean back cover ... mine is on the outside.
I guess this is one of those CBP agent interpretation type things here. Some place on the outside, some on the inside. Also seems to have no rhyme or reason to the location on the cover or the direction.

... and as a GE only person at JFK, clean back cover, my is on the inside back cover. It's gotta be an agent-by-agent choice...
Mine took somewhere between two and three weeks from submission to approval - right when I was about to call to find out was going on, it finally went through. Hang in there, it'll come!
