You're just kinda asking for recognition in advance, of something that will only be recognised
after you've got there.
And remember that it may take a day or two for your flights to post to your account, and then it may take a further day or two before your new status shows. Only when your new status shows will you be eligible for lounge access. Having the points post to your account isn't enough, and flying the flights but not having the points post to your account certainly isn't enough.
