My wife and I both applied on 5/2 and we both received our approvals on 5/17 so it is running about 2 weeks for approval.
We scheduled our interviews at JFK, which is wide open for interviews, I even saw some single openings on the schedule just a few days after we got our approvals, there were plenty of dates and times available a week out from our approval so we scheduled our interviews that best fits our schedule,

Woohoo! Got my conditional approval today, 5/19. Took exactly 14 days. I tried to schedule the interview at my home airport of SFO. Unfortunately first available is 7/6. Fortunately, I have a 4-hour layover at SEA this coming Tuesday so grabbed the second to the last slot at 6:45PM.

Of-course... a day after I posted this, got conditional approval emails for all 4 of us. No appts were left in May as of that day but June was wide open. Scheduled in first week. Appointments are every 15 minutes and one person gets one slot. Reserved all of us within the hour.

Global Entry - Processing Time - REPORT
Just thought some might find helpful the timing I experienced while applying for Global Entry.
5/5/13 Completed Initial Application Online
5/19/13 Received email of conditional approval.
Was able to schedule appointment for 5/21 with Milwaukee processing center. But since I was driving by, I stopped at Milwaukee Processing center without appointment on 5/20, waited 10 minutes and was fully processed.
I had my final approval email before I left the parking lot.
Total time from application to done.
5/5 - 5/20
Just food for thought!
Happy Travels!

Applied: 5/2
Approved for interview: 5/18
Interview: 5/22
Complete: 5/22
Interview was originally scheduled for 5/25 at DFW but they canceled my interview the next day. There were two spots open in PHX at that time. I took one. MY fingers prints didn't show up at first they told me to wait two days and it should be active. I got a final approval email later in the afternoon. I am not good to go.They said 2 weeks for the card but they usually arrive in 4 days.

Hmm. Applied 4/15 to NEXUS, still Pending Review. Same address for 5 years, same job for 2, no extensive international travel, never arrested, etc. Am I missing something? Seems like everyone else is getting far more timely responses for interviews.

Just wondering, can these approvals go out anytime during government business hours, or do they all go out at the same time each day?
