"touched" and rfe's by email??

[xjennyinstereox 0]

Hi, I just sent out my AOS package today and didn't see a section requesting an email address on any of my forms. I mailed all of them together, as instructed by the immigration officer at my InfoPass interview. I sent the I-485, I-765, I-130, I-693, I-864 and G-325A forms together to the Chicago lockbox. I keep seeing on people's timelines "RFE by email" or "touched"...

So I'm wondering... 1st how/where did you provide your email address? And what is "touching" or being touched? Probably silly questions, but figured I'd ask anyways

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Ok so I see that when you get a NOA, you can start tracking your case online on the uscis website. Think that sums it up and I've answered my own question.

Hello:

There's never such a thing as a silly question. As a fairly new petitioner for a fiancee visa, let me try to explain what I understand of the different processes, etc.

When you send in an application of any sort to the USCIS, you get an acknowledgement from USCIS with a receipt number. As a petitioner, you can then register on the USCIS website at https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/index.jsp. Click the link to "Create/Edit customer portfolio account" for new accounts. Fill in the required information. Activate email notification on the screens that follow, and voila, you are set. I just set up my account and got an email acknowledgment from USCIS.

Everytime, there is some action on your case (touching) - then you are notified of the kind of action taken, etc.

Hope that helps. All the best. :-)

hi there

just saw your post and thought wow someone has sent theirs in the same day as mine lol

on the USCIS website you can see how your case is coming along..

USCIS-CASE STATUS ONLINE

you can register an get details on how your applications is being processed..this is where u submit an email address...

being touched means your case was looked at by someone.. be it the sorting mail room of USCIS or an officer entering your details..

hope your application is a quick one..

take care
