Wondering, how long did it take some of you guys to get your License from the FAA in the mail after doing a checkride? Asking because I did mine Nov 1st and still it has not arrived.

Sounds like they changed their mind.

Instrument checkride was Sept. 22nd and still haven't gotten plastic. I'm on my 2nd emergency field issuance. I did turn in an 8710 instead of IACRA and the government shutdown a week after the checkride. But still....

Well, I finally got my certificate. Check-ride was 12/03/2013 and received card 04/05/2014. Only one field issuance.

Did you ever find out what caused the excessive delay?

Besides furlough, they said I didn't show I qualified even tho I already held ATP AMEL and showed over 1600 hours in a CE-172 (class) so they sent it back and the ASI was gone for over two weeks. Airman records has a different interpretation of rules. I used to go round and round with them at times.

So, the root cause was the 50 hours in type wasn't entered where it is wanted. That has caused a lot of bumpy rides for new ATPs recently.

However, to coin an old cliche, all is well that ends well.

IACRA hasn't caught up yet! I administered a couple of ATP ASEL's and both were returned for the same reason. Live and learn.
