After you file

i’m confused how to see comments in correct order, so if someone could @ me that would be great!! thank you in advance. 

my question is this.. 

i filed on 24th, accepted to n 28th, got the PATH message this saturday morning when i woke up.

1. does this mean i’m further along than just the 1 bar? 

2. does that mean it’s processed,  but just won’t b sent out til after 15th?

3. i swear i had it before the 17th last year!!! 

thanks for a reply!
