My wife's renewal application finally got approved. It took about 6 months. No interview needed and just waiting for the card to arrive.
Now just waiting on mine. In case it doesn't get renewed in time though, it said on their website that they are extending the usage of the expired status up to a year due to backlogs.

Nexus application wait times is such a crazy shit show right now, as you all have explained.
My buddy applied for his re-application over 6 months ago. He still hasn't gotten his re-approval yet.
I applied for my Nexus re-application last month. I got my physical new Nexus card yesterday.

so i got in shit at nexus, dude told me to better start reading my nexus emails. The olden days of declaring shit on a computer is long gone; it's all verbal now (upon entry).
He pulled me aside and gave me a cracking... when i was able to leave, (after picking up luggage) got pulled aside to search all my shit too.
My picture and passport didn't scan so i had a hiccup there too.

emails from nexus is really hit and miss, i have not received any official communication from nexus (since applying) regarding any changes, most of the recent changes i've learned only from reading on RFD.
anyways, just a few days ago i had used my nexus at the airport for the very first time, using the new global entry machine with the face recognition. i thought i was tripping balls when the machine didnt ask me to declare anything, didnt even give me the option to. all it did was scan my nexus card, scan my passport, ask permission to take pictures to create a profile, and prints a receipt. went through the boarder guard, takes a look at the receipt and just waved me through, didnt even ask me anything.

I haven't been using the retina scan for months, since it never works for me.
I use the app to declare and just go in the general line up as it seems to be faster.

i cant remember if it was a land border or at an airport...either the RFID got picked up without me waving it or they did have facial recognition in place but when approaching the booth my info was already loaded
definitely felt off-putting, some China/1984 shit
pretty much knew i gave my freedom away the moment i signed off on providing biometrics to Trump et al

On the issue of Nexus card, I am thoroughly surprised about this news: https://www.citynews1130.com/2020/01...rth-vancouver/
The Iranian / Persian descent racial profiling does not surprise me. However, the fact that this mother-and-daughter pair were Nexus card holders, and still received the same awful treatment surprised me. You'd think that the background security checks had already been done when they applied for Nexus.
I wonder if their Nexus cards got taken away as well...

i need to bring over like $1400 USD in car parts....likely hood of getting told to go pay taxes??
can you make two trips in one day? just go to the other lane? i would assume your card and car is still tracked so they'll know I've been over twice

They will know you have crossed twice. I've been questioned why I'm crossing again in such a short period of time. It was 2 or 3 days between the crosses.

You will definitely pay taxes on a $700 day trip. Ive been sent inside for a day trip with $500 and a car full of people.
As for crossing twice in a day, that’s highly suspicious. I’ve been sent in to secondary with US CBP for going twice in a week. They also searched my car. You better be squeaky clean if you do try it and not forget to declare anything.

Just pay the damn tax! Whatever the amount is on the $1400 purchase is NOT worth losing Nexus for.
Just imagine all those times you cross the border using the Nexus lane and pass the long rows of cars ... now imagine you being in one of those cars! Seriously, I can't imagine that it's only $50 for Nexus, if they raised it to $200, I'd still gladly pay for all the time saved.

parts are for a different car
why would i willing want to turn over more money to a government that already takes half my pay via income and all the other taxes we pay. fuck them.
i'm not an idiot and i will declare my parts, i'm just trying to mitigate getting told to go pay
and agreed, i still can't believe more people don't apply. such a cheap costs to save time and hassle crossing the boarder and flying
