Big thanks to Blake&Olha for consolidating VSC January filers list for us
Igors list is still irreplaceable.
This is just to easily track movement in amongst January filers who submitted application @ VSC. For us to monitor who gets the 'happy dance'
for the day and who will need the most encouragement in a few months time when the list starts to dwindle. (GOD FORBIDS! I don't want to see any january filer left behind.. but if it will be the case, i hope to be there to cheer that person on....Just to remind everyone why our thread started... we have seen VSC filers from previous months still waiting for approvals... and we do not know if some of us here will also be waiting even longer than some CSC filers, and I am positive that each of us active january filers would want to provide the support and encouragement that will be needed later.... but of course we won't know who will need it if we don't have a list.... and our list is thanks to the good ole BLAKE, a CSC January filer.
One of the reason also for this thread is to make people like dawn, who expressed guilt over being approved faster than others, feel that it is not her/their fault that they were approved quicker than the rest and that we do not hold that against them, instead we are here to celebrate with them.
Waiting is hard, no matter how long you have waited, it is still hard. What makes it harder still is when you see other people within your timeframe and after your timeframe gets approved so of course, those who are still waiting get envious, we cry and get depressed when our hopes gets so high only to crash at the end of the day but I still feel that we all want to be with our love ones with the same intensity and thus, we all put the same amount of hard work in compiling and arranging and filing our petitions. So I feel that each one of us deserve to be completely happy in getting our NOA2, no matter how fast or how long it takes. It is also not right for the happiness of those who have been approved earlier to be tainted with guilt. after all, they didn't approve themselves, they just got lucky... But their being lucky don't make those who are still waiting losers. NOA2 is a price for EVERYONE who can survive the process...
What's more important is those who already got approved have stayed on to continue cheering us who are still on the waiting list. And those who are waiting still have the positive attitude to be happy for those who are getting approvals. And even our CSC counterparts have been around giving their congratulations and support to those who got approved. And that somehow provide a more positive vibe for us all.... being positive and staying positive is what we do need to see this through.. that will be hard without the support of each one of us here. And I am so grateful for each one of you who have contributed to this thread.
I hope we will continue to celebrate for those who are getting their approval because they deserve it and also continue to provide support to those who are still waiting because they need it.... wait, i almost forgot I am still on the waiting list, MAN!

Did you guys see the post on the K-1 General Discussion forum about how "unfair" everything is? I didn't know that celebrating and supporting each other on our own thread was being insensitive to CSC filers, but someone has taken offense...I don't stop into the CSC thread and celebrate, THAT would be insensitive...
Dawn, you have been doing a great job cheering us on, that is very much appreciated

There's two choices, let the negative people give us negative feelings or just let it pass and continue to be positive.... I'm chosing to be positive, other people's negativity won't make my NOA2 any faster and it also won't help me shed off my excess pounds nor tone my belly and underarm flabs...
What I know is, I'm gonna be a bride soon, I'm marrying my soul mate, my bestfriend and my lover before the year ends and I have our whole life together to look forward to, and that's most important to me than anything.
to others who have stayed on after their NOA2, to our CSC January family who have been around to add cheer & glee, and all our other visitors, and to those who are still waiting, heres a GROUP HUG
