I surfed the net with that information but I can't find anything. Anyway, you said there if the application is receipted by July 6, 2004, does receipted means, the time that your information is uploaded in their computer? or that it was postmarked on or before July 6, 2004? Please help... Thank you very much!

they seem to have deleted the link, because the current news points to old 2002 directive, cancelling automatic revalidation when returning from visits to North American countries or some countries in Europe. So i dont think July 6 is the deadline else DOJ website would have said so.
