[Cecile and Bryan 0]

Wow, 43 approvals out of 65 January filers! It's amazing! Congratulations to all of you, and good luck to the ones waiting, you should be approved soon!

More congratulations. Not many January people left now.....

Somehow there are people who don't get approval email nor online status update but only know about their approvals when they receive their hard copy of NOA2 through snail mail or a letter from NVC. I strongly wish that such is the case for all those who are still waiting, that somehow all of you are has been approved already and will soon be receiving your hard copy this week and perhaps your papers are even on its way to NVC at this very moment. If that won't be the case, then I hope and pray that you will all be getting your approvals soonest.

Editing and updating the january list was slowly eating me up emotionally when I was still waiting and I was seeing all the approvals left and right from people who filed within my timeframe and after me. But I didn't know that it will be getting even harder now that I am seeing people still waiting on our list. My heart really goes out to all of you.

I hope you are all hanging on strong. I'm keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers and I am 101% sure all the others who have been approved are also keeping you all in their hearts and prayers and sending good wishes your way. Hang on and Stay strong, your NOA2 is coming very very soon.

To sit patiently with a yearning that has not yet been fulfilled, and to trust that, that fulfillment will come, is quite possibly one of the most powerful "magic skills" that human beings are capable of.

I think it's testament to your character that you provide such wonderfully positive support to those of us still waiting.

I'm hoping everything moves quickly for you now ...
