Well, one small bright spot. wodengdaini got a touch on May 27. He is through Nebraska with a NOA1 after March 5. Don't know if it means anything but it is a sign of life.

PARDON ME FOR BEING SO FAR OUT OF THE LOOP. BUT SBY PLEASE TRANSLATE "BEING TOUCHED?"

Thanks, Rick

It was like 3 pages ago but with all the transfering discussion it was almost forgotten.

what all this tells me is that you and i and everyone one in here doens't know jack s**t!!!

I think people are bothered because they are being transferred to a center that is slower than the one we were at, regardless of it being connected to IMBRA or not. Yes, we will likely get something next week to check off whether we are IMBRA-related or not, but that doesn't change that my center's processing time went from looking at file from Feb. 20 to looking at files from Feb. 2.

I still think a sign of movement is welcome, but I am wary of having been sent to California.

Exactly!

"Touched" means that your application was referenced in some way, and the last action date has been modified. For many of us, we have a "touched" date of today, since our petitions were sent from Nebraska to California.

Ok guys I just reread the email and noticed something.

On June 1, 2006, we transferred your I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E) to an

office in CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER for processing. That office has

jurisdiction over the case. They will send you a written decision as soon

as processing is complete. You should receive a notice informing you

that your case has been transferred to a local office.

This sounds like it is going to our local offices. What does everybody else think?

I wondered about that too. Indy is the closest one for me, which is only 40 miles away. They don't handle I-129fs though, at least according to their site, so I'm wondering what's going to happen at the local office. Maybe this is how they are going to verify no past criminal record? By having it processed in our own states? It just gets more and more confusing....

Seems quite a few of us have recieved this email stating that K1 applications that were at the NSC were transfered to the CSC. Does anyone what the wiat times are going to be now. I am hoping that this does not means we have to wait 4 months since the are only looking at applications received on Feb 3rd!!

You think we will need to fill out ANOTHER I-129F instead of a questionnaire? I'm afraid we need to start over from the beginning . . .

Hi you all. I've been reading the VJ threads in silence for a few weeks now (since I've had my interviewed canceled - it was supposed to be next week, June 6). I got a call from the consulate in Rio telling me my petition had been sent back to USCIS in the U.S. and, unaware of the IMBRA law then, freaked out.

I had my fiance call USCIS and they said they would be sending out questionnaires, and that it might take a long time. The woman to whom he talked asked him if he had already gotten anything by mail yet. So we figured they were already working on this questionnaire, or even had it ready to go.

Well, he hasn't gotten anything mailed to him yet, so I guess they didn't have the questionnaire ready. But this I-129 draft sure brings us new hope, huh? Also, since we only have to provide them with criminal background info as found in Part C of the draft, I guess it won't take long until they actually start sending out what we need.

I'm trying my best to stay positive!

Well, I don't understand why you would think that, but maybe I am misinformed. Your location says Ohio, and your petition is being sent to California. I think we are all overthinking this. As an earlier post said, they should be sending the new forms out on June 6 as is their deadline. We can guess a million things, and it does no good. Believe me, I want to know just as bad as everyone else, and I haven't even received notice that our petition was returned. Our petition has a NOA1 date after March 6 and I don't even know if ours was recalled. I am waiting for the Consulate to respond to my email. All we are doing here is just taking wild guesses and confusing all the newbies.

I think it just confirms that USCIS has no clue about anything - they cannot even send out one (not 5) but one email with correct information. Since local offices don't process Fiance Visa petitions, this doesn't sound right to me. Also, since they transferred from Nebraska to California, it makes zero sense to write in the email (s) that we should receive notice informing us that the case has been transferred to a local office when it's clearly not local to any of us.

So I think that it means that for whatever reason (god forbid they could provide an explanation for WHY the cases were transferred) they transferred to California and that's all we're ever gonna know.

Well, consider this possablility, The USCIS knows it is behind. They know they need to collect more info from the petitions that they have. Maybe they are setting up a local office to do the ones they already have but need more info for. Just dedicate it to the ones they screwed up on. Maybe??????

It's so great that you still have the ability to think positively and I hope I can find the strength to do the same.

Hope you have a wonderful wonderful trip with your love and come home to some excellent news!

There's a light at the end of the tunnel folks.

This 'touching' deal has been interesting as of late. I was 'touched' yesterday, and just looked tonight and was 'touched' again. Do they do this everytime your case is looked at because of a phone call? I am pretty sure today was the day my Senator called, so I was curious about if that is why I'm getting touched more than a cheap hooker.
