Where do they touch me?

[Clare-n-Lisa 0]

I've received my NOA1 via snail mail. I went to the USCIS status link and entered the number and turned on my email notification. But I can't see any touches. Am I supposed to look somewhere else for touches? I'm in the pokey CSC but I still see references from other members of touches within a few days of receiving the petition.

So my question is will I receive email notification from every touch, since I turned to email on, or am I supposed to check for touches somewhere else?

I was received July 11th and my check was drawn from my account on July 18th

Thanks

To check for touches - even if you can't see change on status- you have to login into the account on the USCIS page. The ones you get by e-mail are the ones that show some kind of change.

There are 2 kinds of touches. There are the ones that show some kind of update, there are the ones that don't bring a new message. By loging into the account, take a look at the date that shows next to your case number. If it's changed, you've been touched.

By clicking on the case number, you get to check whether it was an update touch or not. The ones that don't show updates are connected with some kind of work done with regard to your case - it merely shows that they've taken a look at it somehow.

Let's try a step by step thing.

Go here: https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/login.jsp and log into your account.

It'll show a table:

Receipt Number | E-mail | Last Updated | (mm/dd/yyyy) | Form # |Form Title

Take a look at the date in the "last updated" box. Then go to "Receipt Number" and check the message. Is it different from the last update you got?

Yes: Great! You got an update that changes the status of your case.

No: Aw. They have just worked on your case...

Here, there's a post explaining it: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=20192#

No, the date it was received won't change. Take a look at my previous post and see if it works. Let me know how it goes, okay?

Ah, Thanks Mew!

I had registered once before and tried to log in but it must take some time for the procedure to recognize your login. It does now. We're actually logging in and checking our portfolio. I've finally got it. Thanks!

I also read the link refering to newbie's always asking about the case status. There were some very valid topics within. I strugled early with the acronyms and kept getting very frustrated that there was no glossary. I use searchs to obtain help and couldn't get anything on a glossary. I still didn't post asking about acronyms even though I was GM management and hated acronyms with a passion you can't stop the trend now days. I finally found the acronyms by looking up definations, I think. But I never searched on touch or touched or even USCIS Touched because I figured it would bring up every post and that wouldn't help. I think I went through the FAQ looking with no results either. But all in all I see the need for some of these items to be covered in FAQ

Thanks for all your help.

Newbies when you learn something new it helps remove the newbie status.

When you can help a newbie it relieves some of the frustrations from the senior members.

So I stand ready with my little bit of information!

No problem! I've just posted a topic explaining everything about touches. Many people find it tough to figure it out. Good luck on your journey.

Where do they touch you??? It depends on where you like it.

I wish my baby could touch me. But she's 10,000 miles away. Damn
