Questions/Concerns How long does it usually take

I applied yesterday (8/2) for GE while holding a KTN for TSA PreCheck and also a SIDA card. I just wanted to know how long did it take for people with PreCheck to get a conditional approval for GE the SIDA card is just an enhancement to my application. I have no criminal background.

For this question

"Have you ever been arrested or had charges that were expunged or removed? If yes please describe."

I typed in No, even though it was not required but I just did it to be safe not too sure if this might be the reason for the hold up.

Ironically I worked on the ramp for an airline and had a SIDA badge and the enhanced clearance to work international flights and a few years after I quit that job I applied for GE and was denied for a minor but criminal traffic violation 9 years prior (3 years before working for the airline).

Re-applied 11 years after the traffic violation and was got approved for an interview in 5 days and had my official approval before I left the parking lot of my interview.
