When I first saw that I had an email form CRIS, my heart leapt up and down in joy. But then it was this garbage.

Now I am assuming this is our missing NOA1. I called them up, explained the whole story (once again, for the third time) and the women right away gave me a confirmation number for re-issuing my NOA1 (within 45 days, so I am hoping we'll get the NOA2 before the NOA1). But something about the language "this document will be destroyed and you will need to file a new application or application for replacement with fee," has me really on edge. I asked her twice to confirm that our case was being processed and she confirmed twice. I still have no faith in them.

And please note that even though they say the document was returned to them on May 7, 2008, they did not send me this email until today, August 6th. I had checked our case this morning on the USCIS website and it said that the last action was on May 1, 2008. Now it says August 6th, 2008.

Wow thats pretty messed up! I'm so sorry that you guys have go through so much ####### from them. So they're not sending you a new NOA1 right? In this case I think they will still proceed as they didn't report to you til now. CSC is working everything pretty fast now normally they wont hold the case for that long. Try to stay positive and I'm hoping you can get this process done soon. Please keep us updated for your status.

Cheers,

Glo

Yes!

I'm pleased to hear that "touches" are not a reliable indicator of forward progress and that I can stop clicking obsessively on my USCIS status page.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Yes sometimes they didn't even have the right information on the status. Just like our case, we are still on pending on the USCIS web site but our case is already sent to the US embassy in HK! So check your mail box cuz it may surprise you!! From your timeline you filed earlier than me, I'm sure you can hear from them very soon!! Can't wait to give u big congrats real soon!

Cheers,

Glo

Okay April filers, how long after a touch have some people been seeing an approval? We received our first 'real' touch (after the a couple of ones in the May time frame) yesterday - August 6th. I can only assume since they have approved some Aprils already, they are working our case! Now, I wonder if I should call them to see if it's been approved, or wait for the update from case pending to approved, or keep checking my mail box???

It sounds like, given GloandCole's experience, that you might not get an email or website update. You may just receive your hard copy. Either way I would take the fact your petition was "touched" as a very good sign.

Good luck! I hope you get your NOA2 soon.

I'm sorry to hear that... What should be done if you have not received NOA2 for so long? I know it is so frustrating and we just can't do anything but waitt....

Just an inspiring thought for you all of us who's waiting...

Everyday there's a big surprise awaits us, that's why I am always excited for tomorrow... Who knows... tomorrow might be that special day we are all been waiting for... SMILE

I can't believe this! we got touched August 6!

Just after replying and crcking a joke of checking USCIS, it was for real that we got touched I wanna shout with happiness but our neighbors might get awakened, haha! Well, either it's an RFE I would still appreciate it coz that would mean our papers are on the move!!! I don't wanna expect much on this, but am keeping the faith to HIM for an approval.

guys, good luck to all of us!

The only time i've seen this email is when they've returned an entire petition for not having either the correct funds... wrong address on the check (VSC only tho)... wrong amount on check or missing forms or something to that effect. From what I remember, it took quite a while to be notified in those cases as well. Sorry, I certainly hope that's not the case here.
