Hello all..

I've been reading many posts here..and this forum is made up of so many helpful people!! I have seen other forums before and never found one that was so focused, relevant, and supportive!

But for a newbie...all the initials are very confusing, as well as some of the terms...

For example..

I know that POE means Port of Entry and that NOA1 means Notice of Accpetance/approval...but is there list of all the other ones I can use as a dictionary?

Also, there are many terms I just don't understand...When someone is writing their timeline...what does it mean "touched"...does it mean the two people actually get together in person?

Anyway..sorry if this question been asked before..but there are so many threads, posters, stickies, etc...that it is a bit overwhelming for a new person. Even just trying to catch up in this Philippines topic is gonna take me quite a while.

Thanks

Pete

Hi! "touched" means when they(USCIS) updated or looked into your application forms, like if you go to the USCIS website and registered your case their online, they will update you with what's going on with your case, so you will know that somebody is looking at your application or should I say working on your application if the date there has changed..that is what you called a "touched", I wish I made a clear explanation here, oh well, I hope at least you understand my english. I really suggest you go on the USCIS website and register or fill your application number there so that you can check on anytime what is the status of your application.

Anyway, welcome to VJ, your free immigration help :star:
