:unsure: I have an odd question. How do you know when you have been touched? I look every day at our case status and it always looks the same. I think I am doing it wrong or something or maybe I am too impatient *worried again*

Touched is when the date changes but the status may be the same (Pending). Mine has been touched (date changed) once on Feb 27th (recieved on Feb 22nd) and has stayed that way since. I am hoping the next time it's touched, it will be an approval.

that's odd because on the bottom of my I-130 case, the date says U.S. CIS - 04-04-2007 02:03 PM EDT - Page 1, but the Last Updated still says 02/23/07. Does that mean anything? Gosh I just wish I wasn't such a worrier sometimes lol.

I am feeling so excited and overly dramatic today lol so I hope that you will take pity on me. When I receive the NOA2 I would then do the Affidavit of Support right? I have all of my documents for it, but I am just trying to make sure I am on top of all of the steps. Poor Loke has been getting his shots and stuff and I want to make sure that I am doing everything I can do to prepare for each step too. Does the NOA2 mean that you are actually approved?

For some reason tonight I feel very unsure about the rest of the process I think because a majority of it is in his hands. I am not sure I did the i-324 right. He has just moved so not sure he will even get the documents he needs. Unsure about this medical process and when the interview would be set and I look around and I see people going about it a 100 different ways. :unsure::(:dead:

Oh this sucks.

Hi Kath, No worries glad my timeline is of use for others. Have you had your interview yet? I am having the night off! Choccies and DVDs tonight, everything can wait until tomorrow.

Hey Moonie, Kath is right hold off until after easter as sometimes the interview date can be close after you receive your pkt 4. I know how you are feeling though, I was worried when Jake had to do all the I-134 stuff, it took ages to get his letter from the bank and then he accidently trod on it in the snow and got it all muddy, jeeze was I worried about it and it all worked out fine. I think the point you are at right now is one of the most stressful and intense times in the process. Hang in there! Come in here and talk to us when you need! :)

Hi Rings, it's good that you are getting all the material together that Loke needs and it sounds like things are starting to move along for you, YAY!! :D As I said to Moonie, it's exciting and stressful all at once and you feel quite overwhelmed sometimes. Just do little bits at a time and you will get there.

Hey Vik, if you get a chance to get on here, hope you arrived safely and are having a wonderful time with you fiance!! :dance::D

Thank you kath and Girl :thumbs:

He did his police report last week and he has not received it yet. He recieved the i-324 that I sent to him yesterday so he has that. He told me that he already sent off his D-230 that he stated it needed to be sent off right away. I guess :blink:

He told me that he had his mail routed to his parents where he is staying. I am not sure if he changed it on his paperwork. :unsure: His medical appointment will be 4/26/07. I wonder if his mom has his shot records :unsure:

I think I will tell him to wait till he at least gets his police report. I would just hate for to get the interview and not have everything. I think what makes me even more stressed about this process is that I lost my job. :( I have not worked in a week and it feels like forever.

I would have to agree this part is the most stressful.
