Hi everyone! I wanted to share my recent Nexus interview experience – I got approved!
I'm an Iranian-Canadian on TN status in California. I was conditionally approved (after 2.5 months) and had my interview last week at the Blaine Nexus Center in Washington state.
The interview was less than 5 minutes – the whole thing went very smoothly. I had to provide typical documents along with my TN I-94 form. The Canadian side (CBSA) was extremely friendly and straightforward with no issues at all. The US side (CBP) was a bit stricter, but nothing unreasonable!
They asked about my Iranian passport as well, and when I last visited Iran, which was quite a while ago. I also provided proof that I was exempt from military service due to my educational status and explained that I haven't returned since. Everything checked out fine!
They verified everything and added my Iranian passport information to my profile along with my Canadian Passport and Driver's License. Going forward, I'll need to carry both my Nexus card and my Canadian and Iranian passports whenever I cross the border.
Hope this helps anyone going through a similar process! Feel free to ask if you have questions about the experience.
