That's cool- I think you are the first one to mention that you got one (a touch) in this Nov. Cali filers thread! How did you know you received a touch- did you get an email or just look at the USCIS site?

We've also had someone get an approval

(Rach and Houcine) from November Cali filers- that is super fast.....

Keep the faith,

Joe

Hey everyone I didn't even know there was a November CSC thread! Anyway I just wanted to say we got noa1 on Nov 6, and were approved Jan 7. Exactly 2 months to the day. I have no idea why we were approved so quick. We did not expedite. Anyway I hope everyone else's is just around the corner!!

That is great- congrats! It is crazy how some people are approved so fast- I guess there is no rhyme or reason as to how they process the applications... I thought in order received, but I guess not!

Joe, I agree, I thought it was by order received also. Thats why I was soooooo suprised when I check and saw an approval. Its only FAIR that it be done in order though. I am grateful and thankful thought that we have been approved.
