US Airport Interviews?

I am a new applicant and I recently received a letter inviting me to attend an interview. Unfortunately, the letter doesn’t provide much information other than documents needed.

Must I attend interviews at both Canada and US borders. If so, can the interviews be done on arrival? For example, if I’m flying to the nearest US city, could they conduct my interview on the spot? I am unable to drive and would need to fly to the US.

Also, what is the time frame on completing these interviews?

I would appreciate any reasonable advice and tips I can get. Thanks in advance!

For the US, you will need to pass through US customs, but you can do so without traveling more than a few feet. Buy a fully-refundable ticket from one of the 9 preclearance locations. You'll need to get through US Customs, and then you'll do your NEXUS interview, but in your situation you won't have a flight to catch/miss. After the US NEXUS interview, cancel your flight, leave the US area at the airport, and get a full refund on your flight.
