February filers at CSC

[cwaf 1]

ok.now this is probably a silly question after all this time, but how do I know if my case has been "touched"? I have my WAC case number, and when I go to http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis and enter it in, it always shows the same thing: "Application Type: I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status: Case received and pending.

On February 19, 2008, we received this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E), and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case. Please follow any instructions on this notice. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service.

I have signed up for email notifications of changes, and have yet to receive one. Is there some place else to check to see the magical word "touched"?

When you log in to the gub'ment page to check you application there should be a last updated date. If that date changes that means you got "touched". if it is still the same as since you first started then no "touch"

thanks! at least I know I am going to the right website. :-)

what's going on at CSC? i don't see new approvals lately. I can't wait to get through this process. It's so frustrating not to receive NOA2 yet. It's been 132 days since our filing date

Only 2 approvals this week.

What are they doing?

What are they doing?

Yeah. I thought this is our week but it seems we have to wait for few more weeks. What's more frustrating is the fact that we waited for three and half years for this but unfortunately things are going so slow. I envy those who just met last year and got approvals already.

I think we're seeing another period of their on-line updates not working properly. The last several weeks has been iffy on approvals...last week was really low on Friday, but over the weekend, Monday, and Tuesday we saw the number of approvals go up a lot. I bet we'll start seeing paper notifications coming through next week!

It would be nice to see a few weeks of 40 or 50 approvals.

I'm just about ready to go off on a mind-blowing rant, I'm trying to hold it in. My SO has been having to keep me calm the last couple of days

We sooo need a couple of weeks of 40ish approvals. That would be tremendous!

It's Friday and only 2 approvals all week. Unbelieveable

P*ssed off would be a MILD understatement right now. i see our timeline estimates keep dropping also. I'm down to July 10

I know just how hard it is...believe me! We have waited years.

You must keep in mind that when looking at all the stats here on VJ that it is SUCH a small percentage of actual filers. Someone last year figured it to be about 5% of all petitioners based on USCIS stats. Also, people are joining VJ all the time, creating new timelines that adds to your 'estimated date'. It means nothing as far as uscis time so try not to put too much faith in what the estimation says. Especially when you're so close. If you do the DHL trick and look to see how many petitions are actually sent off to USEM each and every day... you will see they are still moving.

Being a VSC filer, and a bit stir-crazy myself , I went over the first 20 couples on Igor's VJ database and found most of those have either not even been here in a month or two, have been approved and just didnt update their timeline or are waiting on RFE's. Only 2 that I saw 'legitimately' still 'waiting'.

Also, as aravis stated, CSC has this history of not updating the website recently and many people were finding they were approved only by checking their snail mail!

Just hoping to offer a little perspective.

I understand all of this and have read it countless times. The matter of fact is that I have had to sit idly bye and watch VSC filers get approved, get interviews, AND bring their fiancees here, that have filed 6 weeks AFTER us. And now that our turn has supposedly finally arrived, CSC posts the absolute lowest approval numbers of the year. I fought, bled and saw my friends die for this country, and this is how I am re-payed when I ask of something in return???? Excuse me for not being very happy with this process. I just want our NOA2 so I can get out of CSC hell, and get on with the rest of the process.
