It means they have done something with your petition. Touching is always good because they are actually doing something but not necessarily doing anything towards approval

Can a touch a day after getting the NOA2 mean they sent it off to the NVC? Or the NVC received it?

Yes, we got NOA2 on 01/12/09 and got a touch on 01/13/09. I think it was the day they sent it off to NVC and they scanned it before it was sent out. It happens to many of us!

How do you know you have been touched? I am assuming that since I am asking this that my case has not been touched. I have not received and email nor is there any information on line with the USCIS. Just curious... :unsure:

You will see the date change on the portfolio section. I never got update emails, the only email I ever got was the one from CRIS when I got my I-130 approved. My husband got an email for the I-129F and the I-130 but I only got the I-130 email. Also, we only got touched a few days after we sent our case to USCIS and nothing else until NOA2. Good luck!

Has anyone ever gotten a touch after getting the NOA2? I got the NOA2 yesterday, today the date on the USCIS site says one day later then it did yesterday... what does this mean? If anything....

thanx

Jonas

6th Jan, 2009 they approved our 129f petition and told us that we mailed you a notice of approval and next day they touch again. I don't think so there is something wrong. uscis may be wanted to conform about the updates...i guess so.

How do you know when the NVC receieves it right away like that?....

I got 2 NOA2 notices in the mail. Apparently they processed it twice and sent me an NOA2 for 6 Jan and then I have another one for 9 Jan...BOTH NOA2 FOR APPROVED PETITION.....I ONLY SENT IN 1 PETITION!!!

It means they have done something with your petition. Touching is always good because they are actually doing something but not necessarily doing anything towards approval

Can a touch a day after getting the NOA2 mean they sent it off to the NVC? Or the NVC received it?

Yes, we got NOA2 on 01/12/09 and got a touch on 01/13/09. I think it was the day they sent it off to NVC and they scanned it before it was sent out. It happens to many of us!
