I read that they are changing this and the date on cards will now be when they RECEIVED your paper work. So if it takes 6 months to get it back, your card will only be good for 6 months.

I know i barely squeezed in before this so it will be interesting to see when it starts being dated differently.
Grats on your card. I got mine and it's dated 4/23 and was recieved 11/2. But my friend that is the least of our worries.
