Hoping to have it by the time I leave for germany in 6 weeks. I know I wont have it when I return from MBJ, but hoping atleast on that trip or germany trip I can do the interview on my return since the people I am traveling with don't have GE. Looks like mobile passport for me.

Hoping for some thread magic
I applied on 6/25 and I am still waiting for conditional approval. My mother applied a day after me and was approved in under a week. I'm really hoping this thread can do magic for me like it has for so many others! 
Update: I received conditional approval on 7/25 and made an appointment for the interview on 8/6. There were earlier available, but not that fit in my schedule. I received my card 8/11.
Total time from application to having the card: 47 days (could have been a week less, if I could have taken the earliest available appointment)

Time to panic?
I'm a naturalized citizen. Since the news in the last week of denaturalization task forces and what not, I have been on edge and am now stressing about my Global Entry Application. Applied for Global Entry very late in the evening of 6/27, payment was accepted the next day and application has been pending review since then. Have two big overseas trips coming up and was hoping to be cleared by then. Have completely clean record (just started a new job recently and they ran a background check and there was nothing on it). Hoping for some good FT karma. Just feeling jumpy with the current climate.

I applied on Jun 13, 2018 and still not conditionally approved!
I am a born US citizen and no duel citizenship.
Is this normal??

I used to have a security clearance and diplomatic passport when I was with the state department and it’s going on 4 weeks since I applied. I never imagined it would take this long for the conditional approval.

My husband is also a dual UK/USA citizen and he was approved in 4 days! I have a security clearance and still nothing (applied on June 22). My kids also don't have approval and I'm thinking it is because I listed myself on their application instead of my husband (they only ask for one). I'm wondering if I listed him, they would have been approved when he got his. I didn't list him because I thought his would take longer because he is a naturalized US citizen.

So I'm 2 days away from a total of 3 weeks from the day both my wife and I applied for Global Entry. She was approved in roughly a week and has her interview scheduled for this week...she could've completed her interview already except she tried to wait for me. This makes no sense to me since she only travels with me occasionally and I've traveled very frequently in the US for many years. Seems ridiculous that there is not a First In First Out (FIFO) order to this process!

Inordinate time to get conditional approval for GE
Is there anyone who is a permanent resident, and applied for GE. I applied over 3 weeks ago and have not seen any response. Wondering if it takes much longer to get a conditional approval for non-citizens.
