Its really slow right now. We've been waiting since 8-1 and I call every day....still no number.

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

I saw that those who got NAO2 in texas have been receiving their case numbers faster. A lot of folks from end of August in fact. While those of us from California are still waiting. 3 weeks for me today. Like most, have all of the next documents ready to go. Just waiting and waiting and waiting. Didn't really think that the mail took that long to go from California to New Hampshire. Thank god its not holiday season in that case lol
