Does anybody have any suggestions or experiences on what to do, how to speed up things etc etc (I have called the FAA every day for the last two weeks but it docent seem to help).
Your option is to pursue it with the DPE - not the FAA at this point in time. If the FAA state they have not received it, there is not much they can do, so you need to get onto the DPE - remind him that you paid him for his services and it is his responsibility to do this chasing up for you and that he needs to resubmit at this point.
