The forum is extensively used by people whose application have been rejected at least once. But it does not mean that there are no forum members who succeeded in getting their application approved. The latter are not active post approval and thus it seems that the forum is full of rejection stories. Most senior members have successfully got their application approved and are actively trying to help the fellow members. I too have succeeded in getting my application approved and try to help as and when possible. So cheer up and Good luck.
