On renewal you may or may not be selected for an interview. If you submit a renewal application before expiration of your current membership, then you can continue to use your benefits until the renewal is finalized (up to 6 months after your expiration date).
| I'm currently waiting for my renewal card to come in the mail.
Has anyone crossed the border with an expired Nexus with any issues?
That's the quote I pulled directly from https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/det...-membership%3F

Peace Arch:
US: 1-3
CA: Only 1
Pac xing:
US: Only 1 (that's the case when I was there a short while ago, not sure if it's still the case)
CA: 1-4 (usually 2)
Basically, now one should take Peace Arch going South and take Pacific Crossing Northbound.

Does anyone know how long NEXUS lines are open for at YVR? Not sure if they're 24 hours or if they end at midnight...

I've found that during this time most of them are down for maintenance, so out all the machines that are there, only a couple are working. With that said, the regular lines aren't super long at that time anyways if you do need to jump into a regular line.

I don't have particularly small eyes, but I literally have to open them up with my fingers for the iris scan to work. It's more trouble than it's worth imo especially if the regular lineup is not too long. I'd only use yvr Nexus if the regular lineup is to the escalators or something.

I always play it safe and get to the airport around 2 hours before the flight. Being stuck and stressing over potentially missing your flight is not worth it

Like most government workers, they're very much watching the clock and won't start a minute before, and they take their sweet ass time to get set up before processing any passengers. If you do show up earlier, you'll likely end up waiting at US Customs for them to open.
EDIT: I guess I take that back. YVR website says they open at 04:30. It's been a couple of years since I've taken the early morning YVR-DEN flight...

Correct - they start at 4:30am. Was there just a few weeks ago for a 6am flight.
Show up early or get raped. 6am is the worst time to be at YVR.

I'm flying out to the US for a few days on June 7th but my passport expires on June 26th, I have a nexus which expires in 2022. Would my passport still have to be valid for 6 months even though I can use my nexus?

However, I'd just pay $50 (urgent fee for 2day service on top of the passport) just to avoid any surprises. It's a risk not worth taking since you'd be renewing the passport afterward anyway... so the only benefit is to save $50.

Smaller US stations (ground staff) may not be familiar with nexus. Experienced this in Portland. UA gate agent wasn't familiar with nexus. I had to show my passport to board.

flew first time with nexus
things just take a bit longer if you don't carry your passport...even at yvr the counter rep looked at me like i'm trying to board with just a DL
at slc they're definitely not as familiar with it..but they didn't hassle me much as it's still a perfectly valid documentation...they're just not sure what to input in the system for the passport number section and expiry date

However, if you are going anywhere else esp. european countries, we had someone who got denied due to lack of 6 mths on their passport.
