NEXUS Wait Times FAQ
How long is the wait for a NEXUS interview?
NEXUS wait times vary by enrollment center, typically ranging from 2–8 months. High-demand border crossings like Blaine (WA) and Buffalo (NY) often have the longest waits. Cancellations open up constantly, so checking live availability — or using SMS alerts — is the fastest way to find an earlier slot.
Which NEXUS locations have the shortest wait times?
Shortest waits are usually at less-traveled border crossings. Wait times change daily — use the live list above, sorted by state, to find the soonest available NEXUS appointment near you.
How can I get a NEXUS appointment faster?
Appointments are frequently released when other applicants cancel. The most reliable way to catch one is to be notified the instant a slot opens — sign up for SMS alerts and you can book a cancellation within minutes instead of waiting months.
How often are these NEXUS wait times updated?
We monitor NEXUS enrollment centers continuously and refresh appointment availability throughout the day, so the times shown reflect the latest known openings.
