With current gov't shutdown I don't expect approval before March. Though I am hoping it will come before the end of Feb. so I can at least use PreCheck for a bit of upcoming travel next month. I will try to update when the status changes.
Applied and charged
December 2nd.
Pending Review as of
Jan. 6.
EDIT: CONDITIONALLY APPROVED 02/19/2019!
*Side note:
I suspect that answering the nicknames/other names field truthfully (think Nick vs. Nicholas) was a long stride on a short pier. Should have just kept it simple.
