Should all four forms (I-485, I-130, I-765 & I-131) appear on the USCIS tracking site?

Hi everyone!

I know the the USCUS site is often slow in showing receipt numbers for online tracking. However, three of my four forms (receipt numbers) have been appearing online for a while now but one (I-485) still isn't showing online. The forms/receipt numbers that are appearing online are my I-130, I-765 & I-131. Everything was mailed together and the I-485 check was cashed (I sent two separate checks). Should I be worried?

Also, a lot of people seem to talk about seeing that their forms have been "touched". Is this the actual word that shows online? I have never seen the word "touched" on the USCIS website anywhere, just that my forms are under "Initial Review".

As always, thanks a bunch!

Hmmm not sure why the I-485 is not listed yet...... wouldn't worry about it though, I just today found out personally that the update on the online case status isn't as current as one would think. My cases where "touched" last 11/9 and even 10/26, no update on the biometrics but nonethelss, today the mailman brought me my appointment for the biometrics.

As far as the touched goes, you can sign up for your cases, have an account with USCIS for free. on the same page where you enter your receipt numbers is an option to click on, right side titled "Sign-up for case updates" and right above it "sign-in to my account". Once you create an account, the sign-up for updates thing, you can specify if you would like to receive e-mails or txts for your cases that you have entered (you use the receipt numbers of all the NOAs1 you got). There it also shows a column called "last update" - the famous "touch".

But, keep on mind, as just mentioned, the updates may be not happening instantly once some major change occurred, also a "touch" can be anything, even as far as that someone just re-filed your application in a different filing cabinet, not as one may think that "I got touched, that means my interview appointment is set" etc. Nonetheless if you are dying to know if they do something with your application, you can check it here and there.

Oh...and one more thing, sing up as a "customer" as there's also the option for "representative"

Good luck on your AOS journey!!
