My application was received by the DPHE on Dec 17th, 2009. check was cashed March 22nd, 2010.

I have yet to receive my red card. On May 27th I sent an email to the head of the MMJ registry and surprisingly I received a reply very quickly.

I was told that applications which were received Nov 19th, 2009 were just now being processed on May 28th, 2010.

Hope that helps. It looks like I'll receive mine at the end of June or the first week of July.
