Some comments to the OP and previous couple of posts. First off, I doubt your instructor is pissed or anything. If indeed the paperwork was not filed, it is much more likely that they are just a little flaky at doing the paperwork part of their job. But being flaky is no excuse for them. You are a newly certified diver (congrats btw!!) and the shop should be making sure you stay in the hobby/sport. Making sure you get your c-card in a timely manner is a 'given'. So, stay in touch with the shop, and have them confirm the paperwork was all filed.
As Kevua posted, SSI now offers a way to check your cert status online. It doesn't work will all older ssi certifications from the USA, but anyone certified in the last few months at least should all be on there. So definitely check that out to see if there is any mention of your info.
I have no doubt this will all work out just fine and you will get your card soon. I totally understand your excitement. After 8 years certified, I still love my c-card :cool2:
