To all of you still waiting, have faith, it will happen. I'm quite new here at VJ. My timeline will show that I've been biting my nails for a while. I got my approval today in the mail. I want those who are waiting to know that I did not have any "touches" nor did I receive any email. The approval came in snail mail. I'm so happy right now that I have gotten out of CIS. Good Luck to those waiting. Hang in there!
