Accession to the EU isn't dependent on other countries' applications. If Iceland, Norway, the UK, Switzerland or Liechtenstein decided one day they suddenly wanted to be in the EU, they wouldn't go in a queue behind the other applications - they'd rightly be assessed as "Generally aligned" with the all parts of the EU acquis and the process would be relatively quick, all things considered.
Of course they won't reapply any time soon, but that's nothing to do with Ukraine, Macedonia, Turkey, Bosnia, Serbia and all the other countries who are at various staged of the application process.
