Hi Viki,

Did you open an account on July 14th and saw the last update date June 23??

We sent our petition on June 20, but I only opened an account on July 10th (no tracking number till then), and the last update was July 10th - same date as my account was opened. So ever since I have been wondering if I was really touched on the 10th of July, or this date appears just because the account was opened.

Thanks

Awwwwww I am soooo happy!!!! finally my case was "touched".....I didnt know I had to open an account to see the last updated...everytime i checked my case it said: your case was received and pending....but i read here I needed to open an account to see the touches :innocent: ...so i did it today and I realized my case was "touched" on 06/23!!!! I am sooo happy :dance::dance::dance:

I'm glad someone started talking about weddings! I have often wondered what other people in this situation was planning to do. I agree it is so frustrating not to be able to make a lot of plans right now. I think it would make all this waiting so much easier if I could be doing more about planning the big day. It was great to read all those posts. I'm torn right now between waiting until NOA2 to by the dress and book the church or doing the court house thing to allow for more time. Well hope everyone has a great day and there are more approvals as this week comes to an end.

I think the date you open the account doesnt count. I opened my account on July 14th and my case was touched on June 23rd. It was probably touched before but I didnt know how to check the "touch status"..... I think it was a coincidence that your case was touched the same day you opened the account....

Good luck!!!!! and let's keep our fingers crossed for more touches!! :thumbs:

I don't think you can tell how many times your case was touched before you opened the account, just the last touch date. The case could have been touched several times before that - no telling.

Anjelika81,

I think we are twins! I also sent my petition on June 20th and my last touch was July 10th! (I opened my account July 20th, so you opening an account did not influence the touch, IMO)

GOOD LUCK!!!!

We can't do a lot of planning beyond what we've done already, but we can talk about what we want and decide things. Like the color scheme, how the ceremony will be, what the cake will look like, etc --> then when it comes time to finish planning, everything will be planned, we'll just have to book it all. :)

And, if you do decide you want a dress (even if you get married in a courthouse you can have your dress if you want!) you can always buy that - people buy those things a year in advance or more... it wouldn't be out of the question for you to buy it now, even not knowing for sure when you'll be wed. As long as your body won't drastically change, then you're good! So, I say, go out and find yourself a dress! :) Or at least start looking. Because, hey, with all we go through we deserve a pretty dress.
