Hello everyone, I am a newbie (with a NOA1 date of 3/12/2012). Can anyone tell me how to find out if their case has been "touched"? I see several people stating this and i was curious how they found out. I never received a hard mail copy of my NOA1, but when i called USCIS, they gave me a receipt number over the phone. It's a bit scary not to have received a physical hard copy however. Thank you.

Make sure you verify they have your address correctly, did you ask they send you another one?

UGH! Stop. At the risk of being flamed by everyone, and being a visajourney member myself, I still have to ask if you guys could keep this stuff offline and off the forum? This can't be the only way y

I can only imagine the dread that April and May filers must be thinking. The same things we did when we saw February people waiting 200 days. The denial... "Oh, surely they will catch up by us?" or th

In honor of the amazing super fast VSC rep holding our case hostage, I've written a poem. It is to the tune of "You're a Mean One, Mister Grinch". I call it, "Ode to Mister Sloth". You're a slow one,

You can go to the USCIS website to have email and/or text notification when your case status changes. Just set up an account, and they'll notify you. That's how we knew we got approved before receiving the physical copy. You can also change your address online using this website as well. A 'touch' comes from viewing this website if your status change or if your file has been viewed/reviewed or 'touched' because the last date on the case has changed.

Generally speaking that is true but in some instances the website isn't updated and you will receive the hard copy first.

Go to the USCIS Website and create an account with the receipt number they gave you. Then you'll be able to see if its true, you can sign up for email and mobile alerts and request a new hardcopy if you want one.

good Luck!

I am hoping some of us will get approval from VSC soon in August.

Hi all, congratulations to those who have received their NOA2s and good luck to those who are still waiting!

We got our petition approved a week or so ago and now I'm thinking about what's next. Mostly, I'm thinking about when I'll give notice at my job. I have to give a month so i'm flirting with the idea of giving notice before my interview, but that seems a little risky. I'm interested to hear what you guys are planning, are you thinking of playing it safe or taking the risk?

My fiance will give notice once he gets an appointment from the embassy. He qualifies for a paternal leave of 2 years since we have a one-year-old baby. It depends on your company's policy for leave. We're betting high on our embassy's approval since it (US Embassy in Spain) gives a high rate of approvals. We also have a child together, and he's a skilled worker. So, it depends on your case. Check on your embassy's track record of approvals. If you feel confident that they'll approve you, then you can take the risk of giving notice prior to the final visa approval.

After an eternity on the phone my better half found out last night that we are having a NVC case number :thumbs:

As for the job and apartment situation that someone here talked about ... I had to give 2 months notice for my job and 3 for my apartment. And yep, I handed both in already. Now I am going crazy with how to move. I won't take furniture with me, but still it is something. I have decided against a moving company, cause they are just too expensive for a little move. So I am going to send everything in the mail :unsure:

How do you all do that stuff?
