Talked to real nice lady at RSD and she informed me that the printing and mailing happens in San Antonio so she said to give it the 7-10 window for that to happen. She did confirmed my address and that indeed everything had been approved and mailed on 4/29. Keeping my fingers crossed for today's mail. Good luck everybody, the end is near....!

Hang in there I know there is a mailman running around somewhere out there with your plastic.

Is there a number I can call to verify that they have everything they need from me? I don't want to hound a bunch of very busy people, but I also don't want to wait for months only to realize they've been waiting on me! Thanks for all the help guys!

I have the number on speed dial. And i just keep calling till i get the answer that puts me on hold for 30 to 40 minutes. Sometimes it takes more than 20 attempts to get through. It's a hassle. But it is what it is.

Is today the day? or
Time will tell.

29 Apr 2016... Website changed today jumped off couch and one leg hopped to the mail box (just had ankle rebuilt in surgery wednesday) no plastic yet

Ret, I can picture you hobbling to the mailbox. I know you only had your ankle rebuilt, but I picture you having a full leg cast and that stiff leg kicking out to the side in a looping motion as you head to the mailbox.............

Still no plastic. Maybe tomorrow. I've waited this long so what's a few more days right?

Boom, me too. Looks like many of us got a status change today. Maybe tomorrow, maybe in a few days.

Still waiting Mike. hopefully Monday. One thing for sure, we know it wont be long now.
I know I'm ready. It's been a long wait. don't recall ever waiting this long for anything.
reminds me of the old days when you ordered something from a catalog, you clipped out the order form, filled it out,
put it in the envelope with the money, put it in the "Snail Mail" then waited 6 to 8 weeks for it to come in. but don't reckon
I ever waited 12 weeks for anything. especially in a time of instant everything. seems like a long long time.
