thanks everyone for all your support these past six months! Of course I will still be here to help out and/or ask questions along the rest of our K-1 journey. Some of you may have asked, I don't think I'm the first of CSC NOA2s...i think I saw a few trickling this past week but yesterday I noticed the whole front page of this forum was splattered with approvals. So, keep hoping and praying all of you who are still waiting. Some may take a while but I'll say this now, the wait is worth it!!! Don't lose hope, don't give up! Keep yourselves busy and concentrate on each other and not so much on waiting for CIS. Good luck to you all!
