Hey Bobby and Kelly & Kristina and David...welcome. :star:

I have a question, we just signed up for case updates on the USCIS website. They have touched our file at 06/14/2011. That is probably not a good sign that we will be approved soon, or am I wrong with my assumption? Sorry guys for this probably stupid question. :blush: I am just nervous and excited. ;):)

Good luck to you all and I still keep my fingers crossed.

Thanks!

It seems like most people get a "touch" a few days after their NOA1 date, so I don't think it means anything special. Maybe they moved your file from one box to another, who knows... There are no stupid questions, and I think we're all very nervous and excited about this process. I was looking obsessively at USCIS's webpage that I have now limited it to once a week so I wont go crazy... I did sign up for case updates so if something happens I should know right away. Patience sure is a virtue, or at least so I've heard!

Thanks for answer. :) And I guess you are right. I was just wondering.

I was looking obsessively at USCIS's webpage that I have now limited it to once a week so I wont go crazy... I did sign up for case updates so if something happens I should know right away.

:thumbs: I know exactly what you mean. I am still doing it and I have to limit is as well.

Patience sure is a virtue, or at least so I've heard!

I have heard that too. ;)

At first I was clueless on this visa slang but found out along the way "touched" means how many times your application was handled, whether that means moved from one shelf to the other or actual work performed on it. I was just wondering about that mostly I see on average applications are "touched" twice while at the service centers, and I was a bit alarmed seeing my application "touched" 3 times. I just hope that it does not scream out loud "RFE coming my way". oh well at this point i'll just wait and see. :whistle:

HOw exactly do you check to see that your application has been "touched" ? I don't get how people find out this information.

Yes, you can check it more in detail. If you go to the main page, and scroll down, past the bar where you enter your case number there is a "Services" section on the left side. It says "Sign up for case updates". You can create a user name and password and then sign up for email and/or text message alerts. There is a last updated date which shows you whether your case has been "touched" or not.
