Touched Where do I see that-USCIS doesn't show this on my page

[FastViper 5]

When I put in my receipt number, all I see is this "initial review" part and nothing else. I keep seeing "touched" on this website over and over and anyhow pulling my hair out waiting and looking for any details. I signed up for updates via email from USCIS albeit not texts, but since January, I have nothing past the NOA1 receipt letter. My attorney wants me to wait and do nothing, I want to call my senator for an appointment, but I am deferring to his judgment at this time as he is a full time immigration attorney. Anyhow, I will be quiet so I can learn from others on this touched update and thanks!

Your Not Past Due until 5 months/31 days. If that occurs the you can call and ask for a Service Request for them to pull your Petition.

Don't worry to much about being "touched" . However, if you show no signs of your File being looked at I myself would worry alittle.

I can tell you that your Senator?Congressman will Not be able to help you until 5 months 31 days. This is what USCIS will tell you as far as A Service Request to pull your File.

Thank you so very much! Unfortunately, mine is NOT touched and makes me sad. I do not know what to do here, but this is crazy not seeing or hearing anything and quickly approaching 6 months at VSC...

Hand in there. Ours was 5 months 3 weeks.

I had 1 touch which was right after my NOA 1. I didn't get another update until after I received the email that it was approved. I have heard people say that even after they get their NOA 2 the website still doesn't get updated. I wouldn't get too hung up on it. Touches really don't mean anything. It is just such a long process we all want to see some update so we can feel as if we are not forgotten.

As Tim/Mav said, wait until 5 months 31 days and then put in a request for expedite if you still haven't heard an update on your case.

There is a difference between a Service Request and A Expidite.

A Service Request is just what it is: Pull the File/Petition and Review.

A Expidite is different. That would be an Emergency.

Just for Clarification.

I am wrong, mine was touched 3 days after the recept and I didn't catch it until after my post as I was tired. Per USCIS's website, the VSC 5 month average is less than 5 months and rounded up to reflect 5 months. That said, anything past 5 months would be outside of the normal time frame. So in 2 more weeks I will be at the 6+ month mark so at that stage it would deem prudent to perhaps put in a service request at that time. Thanks again, at the very least VJ helps me share my experience and learn a bit about this crappy process. Off to Florida in a few hours to pick up one of my cars and drive it back to New Jersey and sad I am doing it alone, but it will be a nice distraction from this problem for at least a few days. Top down in the sun driving fast is not a bad thing
