Yea, Another approval. Hmm for the first time I wish I lived on the east coast because Vermont is an approving machine. We, on the west coast will just have to enjoy your success and hope that California catches up. Maybe it's like the hair and the tortoise tale. We turtles will get there, but at a slower pace. It is always great to hear of an Approval.

It seems like California likes to do things in chunks so this is my take on the slower approval rate. . . that they are waiting until they have a certain amount and then are gonna let all of you Cali filers have it at once. . .like an explosion of approvals. . . that's what I think. . . just sayin'

Our NOA1 date is around the same time some of the others at the VSC are receiving approvals. Very, very cool. Hope to see a lot more good news around here in the meantime. It's difficult planning a wedding with this whole thing up in the air...

And hope those California slackers get moving too... :whistle:
