A couple notes. I applied late on Dec 9 so the system shows Dec 10. My updates tended to be borderline 9 and 10. My FD date on gckey is actually showing August 20 but it didn't update until today a little after 2pm EST. At the same time yesterday there was a ghost update on gckey but nothing updated until today.
