So now Pre-Check is open for LPR...

But it says "Lawful Permanent Residents who are members of the TSA Pre✓™ Application Program"

I already have GE... I sent a question to TSA asking whether I need to apply individually for Pre Check... The answer is as follows:

"TSA continues to examine the possibility of incorporating more populations into TSA Pre✓™ expedited screening. For example, TSA recently decided to extend eligibility to members of Global Entry who are citizens of certain foreign countries. In addition, TSA has expanded eligibility to U.S. nationals and lawful permanent residents who apply through the TSA Pre✓™ application program.

"To apply for TSA Pre✓™ eligibility, U.S. nationals and lawful permanent residents may submit an application through TSA’s Web site at www.tsa.gov or visit an enrollment center to submit an application in person. To complete the application process, individuals will be required to visit an enrollment center to provide identification, fingerprints, and proof of U.S. citizenship or immigration eligibility. In addition, an $85 fee to cover an in-depth background check and other operational costs is required. Upon successful completion, travelers will receive TSA Pre✓™ eligibility for 5 years at TSA Pre✓™ lanes at more than 100 U.S. airports when flying on a participating U.S. airline.

"Later this year, TSA plans to incorporate into TSA Pre✓™ expedited screening more populations, which may include additional non-U.S. citizens who are members of Global Entry. "

I think this clearly means that if we LPRs want Pre Check now, we need to apply for Pre Check regardless of GE status.

Just like some of you, I've had on-and-off luck with Pre Check in the past... I think it is indeed tied to your profile information with the airline, but... well... I still can't understand why is it so difficult to merge both databases. Oh well...
