February 2008 filers

[Robyn-n-Kris 72]

Now I know the normal thought and answer to this but I'm still scratching my head trying to figure it out. Since Friday my case has been 'touched' 3 times . I'm beginning to worry. It's still way too early for approval (at least that is what i keep telling myself of course) but still. I pray i'm not in for an RFE

anyone else have thoughts??

Hi Robyn,

Logically you already know that nobody has the answer for you but at 18 days in I think i'd be pretty pleased that someone was at least fondling me already!

And i wonder why i'm never touched!

I would like to be touch, i would like that CSC work like VSC... sigh...

Ok i have to think about something else

Don't panic, nothing bad, just means someone has been handling your file. Probably looking over everything to make sure nothing is missing, submitting the namecheck, etc. It is exciting though, because it means it's being looked at. My file was touched about 3 times within the 1st/2nd week it was received, then 2 weeks went by and it got touched again, and now nothing Most people at VSC have been getting quite a few touches in the first two weeks!

A lot of people don't even notice touches because they don't OC like the rest of us watching for it. Sometimes I wonder if it would be better not to have access to the USCIS site, it makes it much more anxiety filled, checking, and not seeing it touched, or getting excited because it got touched.

In the end, most people say it means nothing, other than your file is being handled, which doesn't mean anything more than that. Hope this helps a little!

Just think of it as progress ... you'll be fine!!!

I pray that the CSC starts working through the files faster!!!! And I hope everyone finds strength and patience during the process, whether slow or fast!!

Thanks guys.. my logical mind tells me its nothing big as someone is just fondling us (lol that term always cracks me up in reference to touches) but surprise couldn't be helped. it's true though. the ability to see our 'status' is both a blessing and a curse. Not to mention it's keeping me distracted from my writing and soon my editor is going to yell at me LOL

I signed up for the email alerts on the USCIS website. Do they send emails if the files were "touched" or only when something significant happens?

You won't get an email for a touch... Only for status change... (approval, RFE)

A VSC February filer (2/18-2/19) was approved today folks!

Sorry CSC's it's got to be difficult knowing you're in for a wait while others are being approved. My heart goes out to each of you.

In posting this I wondered if perhaps I should suggest one of you starting a VSC specific thread as the January filers have? Just a thought to show a little courtesy to the other filers.

I was in Haines City, near Orlando......and yeah we found a couple of nice places out near Polk City. I sure wish I hadn't had to come home

Ok.,. wow.. i'm impressed! It is a thought though.. I'm completely clueless on keeping up a spreadsheet though LOL

I thought you'd like that.

You dont need to start a spreadsheet. All of the same information is on the VJ timeline . You could just add that link to your sig for those who have trouble finding it.

Just PM me if you want/need some help with that.

I can't believe someone was approved in 19 days!! Yikes.

I keep hopefully checking the site every day now - they haven't touched my file since 24th Feb...

I'm very, very happy for the February filer who got approved.

However, as a CSC filer it also makes me very, very unhappy for myself. VSC filers who filed AFTER me have already been approved (19 days!!) and I'm looking at June if I'm very, very lucky to even start hoping to hear anything. I'm trying so hard to have patience with this process and it just isn't working.
