I'm from Ft. Lauderdale Florida and I am sponsoring my fiance who is from Moscow Russia. I shipped out my I-129F on Friday May 15, it was received Monday May 18 and I had a notice date of May 20, 2015. To my surprised I noticed that my I-797C was issued by California Service Center, even thought usually the Texas Service Center handles my geographic location. Today I receive a text that my case was updated and I am happy to say that it was approved. I am very happy but at a loss as to why my case was handled by the CSC as opposed to the TSC, maybe some Florida cases are being sent to the CSC.

I read some horror stories about the time taken at the TSC and I hope many more cases from my geographic location are either handled initially or are transferred to the CSC as my I-129F was approved in about 36 days.
