Also applied early May and still waiting. To escalate you need to call 877-227-5511 and follow prompts (6/1/4/0). It may take multiple tries and may get a message that the number doesn't work. Eventually you'll connect to a person who will create a ticket, and you'll get an email with a case number. Can't do anything with that number though. Current quoted resolution times for escalations are 3-8 weeks.
BTW, I am at day 118. Applied May 11, 2019. No hurry to escalate since no imminent travel. Let me see how it plays out. Maybe next week?

My interview... I signed in at 6:55 and was on my way out by 7:03.
- "So what do ya do for work?"
- "Going to be doing some international travel?"
- "Any jail time? Previous history of customs law infringements?"
- "Alright let me take your picture here real quick... and now your fingerprints..."
- "Got any questions about Global Entry?"
- "Alright, soon as your fingerprints come back, so long as there's no issues I'll go ahead and approve ya. Have a nice day."

To add to the data point:
Family of 4 applied for GE Aug 2
Both of our kids received CA Aug 8
My wife and I are both still pending 5 weeks later, apparently we will be in the 120 day wait group.
I kind of wish we all got one or the other. I went ahead and scheduled interviews for the 2 approved because I read you needed to do so within 30 days. Now I need to reschedule the interviews later and keep waiting for our approval.

Frustrating to hear such different results for no rhyme or reason. I put in an application for my infant 8/17. My wife and I are already Global Entry approved x several years.
It sounds like I will probably be waiting for a few more months now. Too bad because our international travel is <2 months from now and I was hoping to do Enrollment on Arrival. We're also driving/flying through multiple interview centers these next several months that we might not be able to take advantage of.

Here's another data point. I am a US citizen. I flew out of the country about 15 years ago. I plan on flying more for work and leisure. I flew twice domestically in the last 6 months.
Received new passport 09/03/19
Applied for Global Entry 09/03/19
Received Conditional Approval email on 09/08/19
Earliest interviews available in DFW is in November.
It was quite unexpected to have a 5 day turnaround.
