Does there always have to be a touch after NOA2?

[RyDa 1]

Hi everybody!

I'd appreciate if some of you shared your experiences.

We received NOA2 from CSC on November 13th. I know that some people who received it around the same time have gotten a touch on the next day or so after their approval, which I believ indicates that your case has been put to the pile that is going to be mailed to NVC. Way too literal understanding of the picture, I know

Ours, however, still shows the last touch on November 13th.

My question is - does there alwayd have to be an update that shows the case is forwarded to NVC? Or maybe, some of your cases have NOT been touched after the approval and still made it further all right?

Thanks, I'd appreciate any input.

As you know, our NOA2 was issued on November 13th as well. No touches after that either. I hope it was already forwarded on. Need to figure out when to start calling to get the KEV number

Hi there. We were also approved on the 13th. No hardcopy to date and no touches yet either. I believe I read it on the one of the July threads to check with Visa centre with case # and your BD and they could look you up easy.

I tried this today but they didn't have our packet yet.

Touches are more of a luxury in this process... they actually mean very little so don't worry about no touches.

Call NVC... you will need to talk to a person at NVC as K-1's are not entered into the automated system.

NVC 603-334-0700. Press 1 and then 5 to talk to someone.

You will then be asked for the petitioner's name and DOB and then the beneficiaries name and DOB. If they have received your approved petition (usually in a matter of days for VSC filers and soon thereafter for CSC...usually ) they will give you a new case number.

If they tell you that your petition has been sent off to the Consualte then you can track your petition with DHL (optional) to find out when it arrived at the Embassy abroad. Usually within a matter of a couple days of it being sent off. Please use the search option to look for threads on how to do this.

Another option is to call DOS to see if your approved petition has arrived at the Embassy. (202) 663-1225 Press 1, then Press 0.

Hey,

Don't worry! Our case has never been touched....

I am beginning to think that the lack of hardcopies being mailed out, is due to the new conversion to an all electronic process that the USCIS is converting too.

As far as the 'no touches' on the USCIS website, I don't know why that is happening.

HAHAHAAHA , i feel very silly....... thanks

We had no touches close to NOA2, and no notice either. The system still says received and pending at USCIS - and NVC sent the file on to the embassy already. I agree with KimandRuss - NVC can let you know the status now.

Thanks everybody!

I still think it's too early to bother the NVC guys just yet. I'll give it till Monday - that would be 10 days since NOA2.

I saw a touch on 11/17 which is after my NOA-2 on 11/14. Still haven't got a NOA-2 hardcopy in mail and haven't called NVC yet. I'll probably call NVC tomorrow to see if they received my package.

my case is at the london embassy now and i've never had any touches at all. i don't think they are relevant to anything.

Apparently not

Just wanted to confirm that touches really do not mean much... Because, I just called the NVC an hour go, and turns out our case has been processed and forwarded to Kiev on Nov 19th! Yahoo!!!
