I don't think there's a consensus on why that happens. It just does. Some get two touches. Some get 5. Some get one.

And some people get NO touches at all. Just an NOA2 email.

Some get no touch, no email, and just the NOA2 via the snail mail.

And some get a touch, no email, and then the snail mail.

It drives everyone nuts!

So I finally received news via snail mail from USCIS, it's an RFE. Not a big deal though, they are requesting Marlon's divorce decree that I had already submitted. I will pop it in the mail tomorrow. I called Marlon and of course he HAD to ask me if I submitted it with the petition and I was like yes I did! lol I had to explain to him that sometimes they ask for documents that they already have. I'm just glad I finally heard something! lol I was a tad bit disappointed but hey, that's all they asked for! I won't let it ruin my big day today!

Hey, congratulations on your graduation! :) Yeah, dont let that RFE ruin your day.

Oh by the way, they did not inform you via e-mail about this RFE?

You were never a mistake. You were my realization.

After you have waited so long, the extra few days will go fast! From what I've seen here, approval follows a couple days after a satisfied RFE!

Oh, I received another touch today. Wassup, CSC?

Ah, that really sucks!! You have a great attitude about it though, that's the way to go! And they will give you NOA2 in no time after they receive the document, I'm sure! :thumbs:

So I guess, the online case status doesn't work properly. You got two touches without change in status and then from the snail mail you found out that the second touch was actally an RFE. Now I have to tell Howard to check the letterbox daily, he hates mail and checks it only few times a week. Argh, I can't wait for our petition to be out of USCIS!!

And of course, CONGRATULATIONS on your graduation! Yahoo :dance:
