Thank You, TWA884 !!!

Following your response, I did apply for TSA PreCheck separately on 9/15/22 (Appt/Fingerprints on 9/17/22) and have received Approval (Online but No Text) and the Eligibility Determination Letter as well as my KTN on 9/20/22 (via Email even though I requested Text Communication Only) while I await Conditional Approval for Global Entry (App Submitted on 8/20/22). I have also already received both Statement Credits for the two fees ($100 for GE and $85 for TSA on separate credit cards). I'm all set for now and hopefully GE will come through before I have any International Travel.

Thanks again

P.S. - Per most of the recommendations in the thread you provided, I will use my TSA KTN until (at some point) I "presumably" receive my GE KTN. At that time, I will update all accounts with my GE KTN, allow my TSA KTN to expire, and only renew my GE KTN thereafter.

Hope all this info helps someone else.
