March 2010 CR1 filers

No touches here.

I dont think I have been touched but How can I tell? I looked at my case update in USCIS web page and it looks the same to me. Initial review is the button highlighted. I also have put my timeline in but mine doesn't show like others do I need to do something else to have it show on my message page?

They touched mine again today (one yesterday and one today). Hopefully it is just not for the address change but they are actually looking into my case.

Thank you for the info Teya. I dont think I have been touched as I dont see any changed date or anything after my WAC # only the March 23 date in the text.

Oh man.......correct me if I am wrong.......when you log in to your USCIS account under your portfolio, you will see the cases you have added.

The date that you will see will change when ever you last log in. For ex. if you log in on 30th April 2010 than it will changed to last updated on 30th april 2010.

Those are not the touches.......which you think is due to touches on your case by USCIS. Try it yourself and tell me.

I was wrong in what I said earlier. The March 23 date is my Notice date and that will never change. The touch date shown where it shows the box checked Y OR N for email notification. Where you sign in for your status. The date in the update box changes with each touch. That's how I think it is... Hope thats clear to you.

That's what I meant to say that it doesn't changes by touch of a USCIS human/personnel. It changes as when did you make your last change or when did you log in to your account. That is what it is ... correct me if I am wrong, but that's what I have observed in my case. Try it out yourself. when you log in next time it will show you the date of that day......i may be wrong here.....but just want to get a right information. Since in my case I can see a date of 23rd april of last touch. They got my application on hand around 15th april, and how come they are processing it so soon.

Got NOA 1

why are you posting in March 2010 filers? You really should post in the April topic, yes? Come on, move along, others are there, waiting on you. You sent off the I-130 on 2010-04-08 - you should be in the April Topic, NOT MARCH ! ! !

The touches have no correlation to when you check your case staus. If that were true, they would have to put a touch for every day of the almost 2 months since I received my NOA1.

How are you March-Filers doing?

Any news?

I guess I am starting to realize that the journey is started; that I actually will be with my husband in "just a little bit".

On the other hand I am realizing that "in just a little bit" is a long long time.

Sad day today, my everything went back to the states today...31 days without him.

Take care

[johndoe12 2]

Nothing as of yet. From what I have seen couple of march filers actually got their NOA2. One of them actually received it within 20 days. I was surprised with that but lucky for them. I doubt we will be seeing anything until end of May. One reason is because of the new H1 visa applications that they have started to review starting April 1st. Looking at Igor's list, not a lot of applications have been approved lately. the process seems to be slowing down a lot and I am hating this.

Been away from my wife for 42 days now. This wait is just too sad. I hear you pain Junefirst.

Thanks and lets all wait this out together.

No touches here.

It really is helpful to read comments from those who came before us. I sent my I-130 form in on March 15 and got my NOA1 on 26.

I have just been reading past forum comments and I am not worried about the touched. I am worried about getting the smacked! I had a few questionable items in my I-130 package and will probably hear about it. I am expecting a RFE and hope these dont slow the process down to much. I got some good advice from one of the Guardian Angels who monitor the site and help us with direction and answers. Use the Shortcut guide but remember they were written a while back so dont forget to read the government instructions very carefully. The Short cuts are a tool but the Gov Instructions Rule the day. Some time the use of one word changes the meaning of things and I have missed it on several occasions. Dyslexia... I also see where there is conflict or I get different interpretations so we should use our time now to become subject matter experts(as best as we can).

My wife is going nuts over all of this really. She is just trying to do this and her real job. She also wants to do everything right now and I told her she needs to take a graded approach to all of this. Do the things that take the longest to do and those that will be needed first then work down the line.

I know one thing I sure will be glad when all this is over and done!!! Cheers!!! Then maybe she will speak with me again

[BigSigh 12]

I'm pretty sure I have all of you beat for the last time I saw my husband. July 6th (so going on 10 months. That is also the last time that he saw our baby girl in person (who was almost 3 1/2 months when we left...is now 13 months. Not to discredit anyone else's waiting time but a month is not suppppeeeeer long in the grand scheme of things. I have no chance of seeing him either before he steps foot on my turf this time. . Waiting does suck for sure.
