I applied before it expired maybe 7 months ago.

That express lane is too valuable to trust forum opinion with, but really.... seven months is too long. Go to a an interview station somewhere and
talk to someone in person about getting it sorted out. You have - fairly obviously - fallen through the cracks in the system. A nice smile and
friendly demeanor will go a long ways toward getting this solved quickly.
Even without an appointment, you can probably get in trouble-free at places like San Diego airport or Calexico. A gentle and polite
explanation of the problem will probably help it move along and get resolved. Most of those guys/gals are human and they will know that seven months
means things got hung up somewhere and that you need some help to get it solved.

Sentri applications are like visa applications. Some visas are processed in a week, others in a year. Same with sentri. If it is taking a long
time, probably because something in your file is suspicious, needs review by the morality judges in CBP. Can you imagine that, CBP is judge and jury
evaluating your morality. Most of the CBP people I have met are pretty questionable, more impulsive and thug-like than contemplative and thoughtful.
