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.
Since it expired, you are at back of the line. It may be a bit quicker in that you previously had been approved. However you don't skip over other new applications.

I would apply for Precheck, especially if have a card or benefit at work covers cost.
