No need for the glaringly very large letters, I see just fine with the standard size afforded in the post. This way it looks as if you're yelling. ;)

There is a thread called January Filers in this very forum where you posted your question. That is where you can see who, among the January 2007 filers, has received their approval.

Here's the link to the first page of the thread:

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=51708

You'll have to scroll towards the end of the thread to see the posts w/ approvals because this thread like the others for filers in other months, was started in January as people were filing their petitions.

But to answer your question, there over 20 approvals here from January filers...mostly from the first half of the month.

Another member posed a likely explanation: other types of visas have always choked CSC, especially now work(H1-B) work visas.
