It's very possible the agent just forgot to change you to approved status (there have been other reports of this that I've read on FT). Doing nothing and just waiting and hoping is guaranteed to get you zero results.

Also, after you're approved you will need to add your PASSID (available on GOES and will be printed on your GE card) to your reservations in order to get PreCheck..nothing will happen without your intervention.
