Nor would I bet they were even sent.I would not bet the farm on PIC cards completed in Mozambique getting to PADI
I don't understand why the OP seems resistant to checking with PADI or checking himself using the PADI on-line system or taking up the offer that was made to help out.
On the other hand, it is irrelevant. If he wants to become an instructor, he really needs to start over again anyway.
