We got the first NOA 12 days after date mailed. Pretty thrilled about that. I am just curious as to which service center is handling the petition. If I am not mistaken, there are two service centers? One in CA and in TX? My USCIS office address is from California and the receipt number starts with WAC. Is my packet being processed in CA? I have read better things about the CA center, so I am hoping this is the case. FYI, I live in TX so I assumed the packet would be processed in the TX service center.

Thanks!

WAC is California Service Center. So your petition should be there. Best of luck!

Trust in the Lord with all your heart

and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways submit to Him,
and He will make your paths straight.

Yup!! California

When you have time pop over to the Philippines forum, do some reading.. it will help pass the time while you wait for your NOA2.
