Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! You just made my day! :)

Well thank you very much. We have very similar timelines! I know every time I felt way crappy it was like a shot in the arm to see someone approved. So I got on this site ASAP to pass that along. VJ has been horribly depressing/completely uplifting, depends on the conversation :rofl: But let's all try to stay positive. Let's make it rain approvals up in here! I'm more than glad to be the one that has broken the long stretch of nothing we've all been hearing these past 2 weeks or so. Let's keep the ball rolling, shall we? :D

CONGRATULATIONS!!! :dance:

Good luck to all--and I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!!!

Thank you very much! Hope everyone has a great Holiday and that we get a few more approvals in here before the year is out, good luck and merry christmas to all!

Wow. I'm surprised they told you this. They are usually so secretive. Just curious - did they actually tell you that CSC is approving Sep filers or did you post that part based on the info on this site?
