The process time for me was about the same but I have never had TSA Pre Check.
I filled out the information online and got the conditional approval a few days later.
I looked for open appointments but couldn’t get anything closer than 6 months out with a planned trip.
I went to Toronto for a long weekend and didn’t realize that I could do my appointment there!
The US customs officer asked me if I applied for Global Entry and told me where to go.
I was lucky that I was at the airport so early for my flight.
My card came in the mail 4 days later.
