For anyone who is expecting their "printed" PAL for over a month now, I recommend calling the CFP at 800-731-4000. I called and got through in less than 15 minutes. Turns out they had printed mine but there was no apartment number on file for me. Maybe I goofed and didn't put it into the application or it was a data entry error.

In any case, they voided the "printed" card and asked for it to be "reprinted". Guess I gotta keep waiting, but if I hadn't called I would have never received it.
