hi guys.. i'm planning to pass an application for state of california but some of my friends are discouraging me because it takes 6 mos to one year for them to process beacuse i'm from the philippines.. is this true? is there any thing i can do to make it faster? i mean what if i have relatives there, can i use their address so that it's faster for me to receive their letters? and i am also thinking to apply to vermont because it will only take them 3 mos to process or at least less 6 mos but the problem is i have no relative there, can you help me please! i can't decide.. thank you so much..
