Should I apply for PreCheck separately? I don't know if my GE application will move quicker since I'm renewing or if I'm stuck at the end of the queue. I really don't want to not have pre-check for 6 months.
If you have a credit card which reimburses TSA PreCheck application fee, then apply immediately. If your GE renewal is not approved by end of two weeks, then apply TSA PreCheck.

In the future, mark your calendar to renew 364 days before expiration.
