Raises have to be approved at multiple levels and worked through a process; it is not unusual for raises to be considered at discrete times during the year. It isn't something that can be done at the drop of a hat, unless the CEO is saying to get it done now. No offense, but an EI making a big deal about getting a raise doesn't rank very high on the priority meter.
Let's say you do insist - what does that look like? Are you going to threaten to quit if you don't get the raise now (not a lot of other viable threats in this position)? If you do, you put your boss (and coworkers) in a bind, which nobody appreciates. You would also need to follow through on that threat - are you willing to leave if you don't get the raise immediately? Can you financially afford to quit? I can guarantee you that getting your PE will be more difficult if there is bad blood between you and your former supervisor. On the other hand, if you don't quit, you will be showing you won't play hardball.
Waiting, while frustrating, is going to be the safest choice overall. If you know when approximately you expect to hear about the raise, get some interviews around that time so you can have offers to force the issue. Try to get your PE if you can, so they haven't got anything they can hold against you. For what it's worth, I don't think they can ethically refuse to acknowledge you worked for them, but they can make your life harder for you in that process.
I don't mean to be fear-mongering here, or to insinuate that asking for the raise is wrong. You are perfectly justified in asking for the raise and taking steps to get it. But you may simply not get anywhere positive by making a big deal about it right now.
