Too many touches, does it mean good news?

[hanster 0]

As you guys can see from my timeline, i have been touched 6 times since i sent in my application for AOS late december, and this does not include the touch when they received my RFE, so i guess it would be a total of 7 touches.

do you guys think this could be something good and that maybe and i pray to God maybe they are getting ready to send me an interview notice?? even though i only filed in december.

or could it just be that my file was transfered from one desk to another.

does any of you guys have any experience with getting touched a lot and soon after received a letter for the interview???

i guess i am being hopeful here and trying to give myself more encouragement.

i sure hope so. the only thing with you guys is that your application was at CSC which is known to handle stuff alot faster than other places.

We didn't receive any touches on our AOS before or after getting our interview notice. But we did before getting the EAD approved. Best wishes!

thank you. i guess one can take so many touches before start wondering if this is going somewhere.

it feels like i am talking about some real person that i am having a relationship with and she keeps on touching me but nothing progresses.

Just be patient. It's hardly been a month! Sometimes RFEs come out of touches, but you know they haven't lost your case, which is really the important thing.

BE PATIENT! Seriously, there are people who have been waiting for their AOS for years on this board and you've only been waiting a month. I'm not trying to sound rude but it wasn't that long ago that this process took at least a year or two and that is what was expected, now everyone expects their green card in a couple months. Touches just mean your case was handled, you won't know if this means someone just opened it up to look at a piece of paper or if they are actively processing it until you either do or don't get your interview letter/notice of transfer to somewhere else.

My case was touched on 01/04, but I got an interview letter 01/26. Nothing on the USCIS website says anything about a status change, however.

it's really not about being patient or having to wait. it really was a sincere question on trying to figure out if people have seen any trend with many consecutive touches. Asking a question about this would not make me more anxious or impatient, it just clarifies some things for me. in addition, i do realize that in the past it used to take a year and more for applications to be processed, but i also realize that nowadays it does not.

looking at some of your previous posts, I could see instance where you have not been "patient" either, for example when you were waiting on the social security card (2), or when you sent your packet to the london embassy(2).

So as you can see, this is really not a matter of being patient or not, but a matter of clarifying things that you wonder about.

1- "Well, its been over four weeks now and ive heard nothing."

2- "I sent my packet 3 to London Embassy on 2nd Feb, that was 4 weeks ago. They still havent inputted it onto their system. People who sent theirs back later than me have recieved interview dates! whats going on??")

Actually, those were not my posts, they were my husbands, and what possessed you to go back through my posts to check my personal timelines of asking questions? It has everything to do with being patient, and I'm certainly not wishing you ill and hoping your touches mean nothing, I hope they are a good thing, but the bottom line (as you can see from every other one of the hundreds of posts of people asking about their touches and what people have replied) is just waiting. I didn't say you can't ask questions, that's not upto me, but I gave you my advice from personal experience of being patient and explained again, like it has been explained so many times before, about what touches mean.

The reason I went back and checked your previous posts is because I wanted to see if you actually follow what you were preaching me, which is patience. So you say it was your husband who posted those and i take it he does not have to be patient but all the rest of us do?? your husband posted his questions because the wait concerned him, the same way i posted mine becaause i was concerned.

thank you for your advice though and I will be try to be "patient".

Why don't you go post stalk the other poster who told you to be patient? You asked your question, and I gave you an answer, which is touches can mean nothing or something, and that patience is your best bet. We've been waiting months longer than you, others have waited years longer, and they would advise you the same thing. Theres no need to start an argument over good advice. Last time I checked I didn't say anything negative to you, I in fact wished you well that your touches turned out to be something good. So, please, stop it with the post stalking and chastizing my husband for posts he made months ago (besides, if you want to do more stalking, you'll see that his concern with his social security card was valid because they screwed up).

ok,

I apologize and please excuse me for being rude to you

Thank you. I'd expect anyone else to tell me to be patient, but that doesn't mean you can't ask questions, and I certainly didn't say it to discourage question asking. It's just easy to get tired when you've filed months before some people and see people getting approvals in a month after filing, and even I know I'm not one of the longest waiters by any means. I advised patience as a means of keep sanity, not meaning it to put you down.
