Anyone apply recently?
How long did initial approval take?

I submitted my renewal more then 6 weeks ago and it's still pending.

Applied for renewal on October 10th, 2018. Application was conditionally approved on November 16th, 2018 (took 37 days).

Based on nothing. They are the absolute worst. Worth it to drive a bit extra and go to JFK if possible

Applied for Nexus renewal around a month ago, still nothing
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

Lucky,

I have been there a few times recently already (and not recently) they are the epitome of government workers - in no rush whatsoever. I have waited up to an hour after my scheduled appointment, with them just sitting there in the office taking a break.

Another time we were berated by a young african american officer for almost 5 mins for "being late" while we were waiting in their designated waiting area for nearly 45 minutes, he then went around poking fun at all the people (now gathered as for a while they were breaking inside, so many were waiting outside as the appointments are scheduled one after the other) waiting there, literally thought he was a comedian, and in some cases just badgering those sitting there with dumb questions/jokes.

So, its hit or miss I guess. When I was there this week, we waited for 35 mins, but the people working there were very nice.

On another note, what is this scam with kids under the age of 5 and global entry? Basically they do not allow you to even attempt to take their fingerprints, meanwhile without that global entry is useless. The only thing it technically does is they put you in front of the regular line (and im sure there are rogue agents that'll make you wait the whole line), but that takes away half the point, I recently waited even at the front of the line 25 minutes. Kiosk for me and my wife took 60 seconds.
