If you have GE(which is usually approved with Nexus) you can use that at airports outside US/CAN when you are flying into the US if that airport has a pre-clearance https://www.cbp.gov/travel/trusted-traveler-programs/global-entry/airports-with-global-entry
NEXUS application
- Thread starter mukicookie
- Start date
My wife, minor daughter and myself we applied for Nexus in March on same day and my wife got conditional approval on Dec first week and we are still waiting for myself and daughter. Not sure when we can expect and why there is a gap
this has been discussed many times - it's luck of the draw. we applied in Feb and got conditionally approved in November - my son and I got approved on a Tuesday and my wife on a Thursday same week. as for the gap, these are all separate applications and nexus is non-urgent. Dunno if they use FIFO.

you applied in Oct 2022 and it's still pending conditional approval? that's 15 months now. also their website says Nexus 12-14 months while this post of yours mentions 18-20 months.
Yes. I sent an enquiry after I had waited for 14 months (as it's said 12-14 months on their website) and got this response that 18-20 months for NEXUS now.
I also searched for this information and got this. https://help.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-1885?language=en_US
Finally got the conditional approval after around 9 months. Applied Apr 2023 and approval came this week.
congrats, that gives me hope.. applied for Nexus for my kids in May last year... hoping the conditional approval comes through quickly
I got Conditional approval for my Nexus application dated April 2023 on 30th Jan 2024 (yesterday). I was able to book an appointment for today, 31st Jan 2024, at Fort Eire. It was an easy process, but I had to drive to the US Nexus office at PeaceBridge (US side) after my Canadian verification at the Canada side (central Ave office). The application is approved, and waiting for the Nexus card, which they said will take a few weeks. Thanks.
