Reading the NEXUS figure
Run jointly by two governments
NEXUS is a joint programme run by US Customs and Border Protection and the Canada Border Services Agency for pre-approved travellers crossing between the two countries. Membership carries Global Entry benefits as well, which is why it is often the better application for anyone who crosses the northern border regularly.
Conditional approval is not the interview
Published timing describes the conditional-approval decision after an application is submitted and vetted. It does not describe the interview, which requires an enrolment appointment at a joint centre and is a separate queue, nor does it describe the wait for a card once approved.
Enrolment centres, and old violations
Both governments vet every applicant, so a question raised on either side holds the application. Enrolment centre availability is the practical bottleneck for most people rather than the vetting itself. Any customs or immigration violation, however old and however minor it seemed at the time, is grounds for refusal, and the programmes do not treat a dismissed charge the way a court does.
