Fortunately, I was able to guest him into the lounge with my status, but we were not allowed to use the Gold Track security lane because access is determined solely by the boarding pass. Being in limbo can be a bit of a PITA, and patience is really the only solution.
there's some synchronization time
knew someone who crossed over from UA silver to UA Gold when flying UA into NRT.
UA immediately posted the miles & upgraded to Gold
UA lounge at NRT and NH lounge at NRT needed to call someone to verify status (since boarding pass was issued as UA silver). didnt have chance to test GoldTrack
