Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for.
Because I am impatient, I found this page to further fuel my silent rage against the time it take for the state to process anything: http://www.sos.ca.gov/business-programs/business-entities/pr...
I got my copy of LLC-1 returned to me 8 business days after they stated they had processed it. Your LLC will show up in the business search the next day after they processed yours.
