How have WE made everyone else worried? We were here to give timelines and that's what we've done.

============
We have been...we ALL posted on this forum...that's the whole purpose. Because I've been approved I should stop posting? Talking about rubbing it in...that sounds like pure venomous jealousy for something that I had no control over. Why begrudge someone for an approval? We all have wished our letter came the same time as someone and that's normal but the above person sounds bitter!

I've was on here with the same worries, questions, concerns and wishing EVERYone a quick turn around before AND after my approval.

Should I delete my signature, a signature that I've had from the start chronicling this journey because the above poster thinks I'm 'rubbing it in'...that's pure unfounded jealousy and it is pathetic.

I have no problem seeing your posts 10 times a day mate :) I am just glad you have your journey over and when its not over for some, its easy to flip, so just walk past that - I was just trying to make sure this doesnt get any more traction than it already has, thats all!

No one here has any ill hopes/wishes for anyone :) We have all been or are going through this, stay together, stay blessed :)
