Make that 3 now. I was part of the collective touch on October 3 and got my noa 2 approval last Thursday (11/4). It seems that "something" did happen that day (10/3) because when I called USCIS to follow up on my case, the higher level customer service(I guess I really bugged the person I talked to so my call got escalated to someone who knows what they're talking about and not just reading a script) I talked to informed me that my file was already at an adjudicator's desk starting 10/4. Just thought I'd share that info so that people will have a sense that "maybe" there's really something behind that collective touch and not just them moving our files from one box to another box or "spilled coffee" as I read here somewhere. Good luck to everyone who's still waiting! Be advised though that it's really looking like it's taking the entire 5 month processing time for them to adjudicate a petition. It took me 157 days!

I sure hope that everything will be faster like they said it would be after getting the noa2.

Cheers!

Thanks for your posting. I'm an Aug filer and was touched on 10/03. Hope we hear something soon!

I watched that movie on Saturday! It was basically like...yep this is our story except for the fact that both the main characters live in the same country! I wonder how people who haven't been in LDR felt about the movie

9/21/10--I-129F mailed to Dallas

9/29/10--NOA1 (email and text message)

9/29/10--Check cashed

10/1/10--NOA1 hardcopy received (dated 9/27 and sent to VSC)

10/3/10--Touched (everyone touched)

10/4/10--Touched!

04/19/11-NOA2!! (FINALLY! After 204 days)

Major change of plans - the wait was too long for us and I ended up moving to Croatia in June 2011.

Married 06/09/12 <3

9/3/12 - I-130 NOA1
