how to see if my case was "touched"

[realras 1]

hello all,

I can't seem to find the answer to my question, though i am pretty sure it has been answered many times before. Please bare with me i'm a newbie lol. I keep reading about the elusive "touch" when people can see if their case was worked on. How and where do i get this information from? Thank you all.

You can't. You may see a status update about your A-Number being changed, then if they require more docs they will send your RFE's, but usually after A-Number comes the NOA2.

Thanks frontgear, for the reply.

To wait in the dark is the most painful. We waited for her passport to come before filing haven't seen each other in 6 months already now another 6-9 more ohh boi

At the USCIS website under tools, on the left hand side where it says log into my account after you click on check case status. It will show date last updated.

If you want to drive yourself crazy you can always check your Case Status ... there is a link on your Timeline Page where the box where you edit your timeline shows USCIS Case Status check.. if you click on that it will take you to the USCIS Case Status. Often they don't update this anyway or if they do it is after you have already been advised of the change.. but sometimes you can be surprised. Keeping an eye on other cases here that have a similar timeline I have found to be the best indicator, exception being those that are expedited for various reasons.

Also, the 'touch' doesn't necessarily mean anything. It can just be that your file has been moved to another processor or similar. All the best for a quick result..

and thank you for your good wishes ... yea it has been a real nightmare.. but everyone's journey is as important to them and you can only do your best and follow instructions as best you can. We do have our NOA1... 06 Aug... we can only hope that this time there is no mix up with previous paperwork, that nothing gets lost and that we can be together at last. It has been a very long journey and we have stayed strong but each day is a challenge. It will be worth it when it finally happens.

This has instructions on the bottom of how to see your case was last "touched" I wrote it last year, so it should still be applicable:
