Hey all. We are new here, so any help/advice would be appreciated :)

So I've filed our case online with USCIS and I've heard that when the date is updated on the website, that means you are "touched." Our date just changed to today, on the 4th of July...but on the USCIS website it says all USCIS offices are closed today because of the national holiday. So were we really touched from another day and it was a delay? or does it automatically update on holidays, so we weren't really "touched"? I have no idea.

Thanks! :)

I've seen this before with people having "last updated" date fall on a weekend etc. Probably has something to do with their internal IS dept. updates the web site database. So your file was probably touched yesterday. Just a guess on my part.

Done for 3 years or 10 years. Haven't decided yet.

(I'm going for the IR-1 and blowing off the K-3. Even if it takes an extra couple months, it's worth it to not have to deal with USCIS again)

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Note:

Please fill out I-130, wait 6 months for approval, then 3 more months for an interview. (Unless of course we've bombed your country into the stone age, then you qualify for expedited processing.)

Welcome to the USA!!!

I don't have much faith in the online system. Some seem to receive numerous "touches" while others get 1 or 0 throughout their waiting period. Its nice to be able to check, but I wouldn't hinge hopes upon it unless you are sure of its information.

My official "cut & paste" answer regarding "touching"...

"Touching" is meaningless and no big deal. Some petitions get 'touched" and others never do. It only indicates someone had your petition in their hands and scanned it into on the database. Other than proving your petition is not in the trash, it is nothing to get excited over. What truly counts are NOAs (yeah!) and RFEs (Boo!) :)
