I've seen reports where people got them months later, after receiving a certified copy.

I have had that happen, maybe two or three years ago on a F1.
Waiting 30+ days after approval with no approved form.
Applied for a certified copy around the 40ish day mark.
Received a certified copy in couple weeks after mailing in the certified copy request.
Original form for physical stamp showed up a couple weeks after the certified copy arrived. I would put the time from approval to original showing up around the 2.5 month mark give or take.
If memory serves correctly it wasnt the Post Offices fault as the post mark was only a week or so before receiving the original form. It must have fallen in a crack at the NFA branch and it took them a couple months to find it and put it into the mail.
