well, we got our interview approved, but you don't see us making a big deal over it.

this is a personal thing we only like to share with true friends and ourselves!

sorry to rub it in, but we are all guilty of seeking attention.

well good for you, you seem to be leaving that exact same comment for whom ever shares their excitement about their approvals, word of advice don't read it if you don't like it better yet dont even leave a comment if you don't have anything nice to say, unlike you I'm not seeking attention just shared my excitement about a great news with people that are going through the same thing as I am, maybe my approval and how fast they are processing it will give someone else hope ok??? so I'm not interested in your life lessons, keep them to yourself.

What I think is interesting is that this Robby character who has such problems with people posting about their approvals can't even take the time to fill out his own timeline and profile so that the information from his petition can help others who would like to get a better idea of when to expect their approvals.

Congrats Emily, I don't usually post on these threads but every fast approval I see gives me hope for mine. So I thank you for that as well as giving us the details of your case so I can get more of an idea about mine.

Thanks Roosha...I read the exact same comment they left when someone else shared their excitement about their approvals and I hate it when they think everybody is out to get them and are seeking attention, what are we 5? I'm not here to rub it in anyones face but to simply share my story and learn something from someone elses. Thanks again though hopefully yours will be approved fast as well.

Well said, Emily!

Thanks :) good to know people don't think like that Robby character does
