guys i had a letter of intent that i sent to my so that was notarized in January. Do you really have to update the letter of intent?

Rich, honestly, I do not know... in the Warsaw packet 3 they do not ask for an updated version... but maybe your embassy does? In packet 3 they tell you exactly what they want... or at least Warsaw does.

You're going to get your approval very soon...but do you think it's possible that your touch was updating your address in the system? How long ago did you inform them?

I actually changed my address on the USCIS website last night, but I have a very very hard time believing that someone moved at the speed of light up in Vermont to make that change. From what I understand (and I could be absolutely wrong) the touches are from actually movements of the file? I could be totally wrong, but I assumed that (in an effort to not lose files.. or at least to try to keep track of where files are and who has them) they're scanned somehow when they are physically moved or worked on. My first touch was on 3/4, which I assumed was when my file was put into whatever Escher-esque filing room USCIS maintains. I imagine it resembles the warehouse in Indiana Jone, except it's in 5 dimensions and no one bothers to try to keep it organized.

Anyway, that's just my assumption. File gets scanned and put in a box indicating its in a box in storage. File gets taken out and scanned and put somewhere to be worked on.

I have no idea how to explain how some people get no touches before they get their NOA2. None of this makes any sense, and it makes my brain hurt trying to make sense of it. Here I am feeling SO HAPPY that a little insignificant number on a government website has rolled from 3/4 to 7/15, and my status hasn't changed to approved yet. THAT'S how desperate I am for any sort of positive information.

So to return to your idea, it's possible I suppose. But I just have a difficult time believing that anyone at USCIS moves at anything other than a snail's pace on a good day... and only if they feel like it, or if Jupiter is in ascension with Mercury on every second Tuesday or something like that. I have a much easier time believing that any request to them goes directly into the garbage without passing go.

Regardless, I'm still happy.

You know, that makes total sense!! I TOTALLY understand where you are coming from and you SHOULD be happy!!!!!!!! I doubt your touch had anything to do with your address change. Keep dancing and it will come soon!!!

I have emailed them. I hope they can provide the form or just let me know it is a letter of intent

Either way, it should not be a big problem. It is entirely possible that just a signed affidavit/letter is fine (and if your letter of intent includes such declaration it may be enough). Hopefully the embassy is more prompt with the answer than the mailroom!

Morning all,

How is everyone ths morning. I am patiently awaiting packet 3 from the embassy. I have tried calling them today but I keep getting their answering machine. I hope they reply to messages left.

Is an interview date set before it leaves NVC or is it only set when the embassy receives it, just wondering?????

Susan, for Warsaw they do not set the interview until you send back the first half of the form (i think it it) DS230 telling them you have ALL the stuff they want... then they set the interview. You bring to the interview the other 1/2 of DS230 and all the info, i134, police report, medical etc
