Thanks for the number. I called and found out that it is indeed because I am a foreign national. Global Entry now seems to need verification of the German Federal Police and it seems to be stuck there for some reason. But the US side already approved, so hopefully, this resolves itself soon.
If not, you should take a look at the following thread where the Bundespolizei verification process is discussed:

You are one of the lucky ones
I applied Jan 10, 2019 and still waiting like those who had to wait for more than 300 days. Hope you get to travel somewhere soon. I have been traveling for work since 2008, finally decided to apply and would be using TSA more than global ID.

Update on my application status
Update: I received the CA approval email at 5;45 pm today. 306 days. Not bad considering COVID. Looking for an appointment for the interview. This forum gave me a lot of patience. Thanks everyone.

Like so many others....
Like so many others I have been waiting for CA close to 10 months. There are a few lucky ones who gets CA anywhere from 24 hrs to a week.
Still looking for an appointment in my hometown enrollment center.
