I just received an email from the USCIS informing me that they received the application/petition and that I will receive the I-797 in the mail in 7-10 days. I logged in to check my case status with the new case number they assigned and it says initial review. Where my question lies is where does it say the NOA1 mile marker has been achieved?

Thanks,

Brian

So when or where do you see the NOA1? On other posts I have seen where the user can see that it was "touched", where is this information?

As Tyeger87 already said, you don't see that online. The email you received and the hardcopy you will receive is it.

When you create and login to an account on the USCIS website, you will see a column that says "last updated." When that date changes, the case has been "touched."

Thank you Ryan, that is exactly what I was looking for!

The 'last updated' (known as 'touched') doesn't necessarily mean much. From watching posts here VJers will get their NOA2 without a touch, while others have two or three for example during the process. You can't really read anything into it as it can just mean the file has been handled but no action may have been taken at that point.

Mar 2011 - After 5mths denied for lost docs - Attempts to follow up failed. Mar 18 2012 - I-129F sent - No sign of NOA1 but they have banked the check...Jul 24 - Update - USCIS has located our file
Infopass Apt - they sorted through everything - our 2011 and 2012 file keep getting mixed up - getting us a Case# (still waiting) Dec- Infopass Appt- expecting to get a case # in about a week ..Still no Case number
Mar 2013 Infopass - advised file was in a box somewhere,and it would be quicker for us to refile. Life gets in the way... New petition submitted July 2014 .
I-129F Sent : Jul 28 2014
TSC received: Aug 04 2014
I-129F NOA1 : Aug 06 2014
I-129F NOA2 : Feb 25 2015 (NOA2 copy rcd: Mar 02)

Sent to NVC: Mar 09 / Left NVC Apr 1 / Arr Embassy Apr 7 / Pkt 3 Rcd Apr 15 / Medical Apr 17 / Pkt 3 sent May 1 / Interview May 12

Left NZ May 15
