A friend of mine received theirs today. It took six weeks.
Just received mine on Saturday Jan 12th, 2013. I applied for mine 3rd week of July 2012! So exactly 5 months. I had almost given up that I would ever receive it... Sorry to bar the bad news but the 5 -6 month wait is a reality and that was even before all the craziness. Good Luck my friends.
