CONGRATS TO ALL!!!!

Don't waste time: start collecting all the documents and forms you need to NVC! For more info about the next steps you can read this:

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=153429

You can also read the August and September approvals thread from the beginning, you'll find lots of information.

GOOD LUCK, and start right now, a couple of days of delay can mean one more month apart.

Congrats to all... but I'm feeling a little left out. My I-130 petition was transferred from VSC to CSC on 11/05/2008... but I'm still not approved and I haven't heard a thing. It's been 206 days since it was received, but who's counting??

Also, many of you have entered "touched" in your timelines... how do you find out if your case has been "touched" and what exactly does that mean? I have checked my case status online and signed up for e-mail notifications at USCIS, but have only ever received the I-797 NOA's in the mail... am I missing something? I'm trying to be patient, but getting a little worried.

Log in to your USCIS account and look at the date under "last updated". If the date has changed, this indicates a "touch". Most of the time the status hasn't changed but the date will. Don't worry, it was several months before i ever seen a touch. But after i started getting them, our case was approved in about two weeks. From my understanding a touch means that your case is being accessed by someone at the service center - correct me if i'm wrong. About the e-mail notifications, i signed up for those too but never received a single e-mail! Don't rely on that. Good Luck!

About the e-mail notifications, i signed up for those too but never received a single e-mail! Don't rely on that. Good Luck!

Thanks so much for the explanation... I guess I was missing something. Every time I logged in the USCIS website, I would immediately click on my Case Receipt Number to check my current case status... and I never even noticed the "last updated" date. So apparently, it has been "touched" since it was transferred to CSC, but nothing for the past two weeks.

In any case... the USCIS offers this explanantion as to what a "touch" means:

* Note on "Last Updated" date:

Your case may have a new "Last Updated" date and you may receive an Email Notification of your case being updated, without the status of the case changing. This is due to internal USCIS processing being performed on your Case. This will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date, but may not result in a different status message.

So, thanks again... and hopefully I'll be joining your "I-130 Approved" club soon! In the meantime, I'll be sure to read up on all of the useful links to NVC preparation and shortcuts.
