Conditional approval 75 days after applying.
Approved February 25th.
FINALLY!
Currently on international trip, so no help this trip. Will attempt enrollment on arrival at LAX upon coming back.
Never received email notification as some have said. Just notice on my account page.

Pleasant surprise was that the CBP officer said that since both our birthdays had just passed, we have right at 6 years before expiration instead of 5.

Still waiting on my conditional approval for just over a month now. Pre-check expires in May so I might just renew that with a credit card that covers the fee and then wait to schedule my GE interview later in the year closer to my bday.
I used the MobilePassport app two weeks ago and got through LAX T4 customs in less than a two minutes after collecting my bag. If MobilePassport is this easy to use I won’t have much of a need for GE.

Will try to do On Arrival in Chicago on my way back from Sweden. Not sure that will work however since I will be landing at 6:30 PM on Friday. Looked to me that it was only available till like 3 or 4. Hopefully I am wrong.

Applied, and question regarding.
I applied the night of Friday, March 1. Paid at the same time.
I will update as it progresses as I have been glad to read others' experiences.
My question is having seen some say you should not answer "to save time/for convenience" when asked why you want to join the program. What other reason would there be?

I’ve applied on 1/14/2019 and still pending review too. I’m flying internationally in about 3 1/2 weeks and I hope I’ll get the GE before my trip. Good luck to you too!

I'm departing around the end of March too. 
Then back mid April. Hopefully i get conditional approval before i arrive so I can do the interview after I land. If I don't get approval when I land then I'll ask CBP officer and see if anything I can do to get an interview that day(probably fat chance).

We did enrollment on arrival at LAX last week. Easy and simple process. Just look for the dedicated line that is for enrollment on arrival - I assume JFK has one too. Or ask any of the CBP personnel in the entry hall. They'll point you in the right direction. Be sure to have your conditional approval letter to give to the officer!
