I've also jumped in the check-other-cases bandwagon while I wait for my NO2 lol ? which prompts me to ask; Are case numbers assigned by USCIS after they check and verify the "basic stuff", (payment, signatures, correct petition forms, etc.), or as they receive them and by case type? I find it curious to see on the app many cases with numbers in sequence and same update dates showing the same status, ie "Case rejected because I sent the wrong fee". That makes me to believe case numbers are assigned after a basic, preliminary check is perfomed and then stacked in a rejection pile. Thoughts?

I imagine so because it's included with the NOA1. My receipt date is listed as Feb 8th, NOA1 was dated 10th and last "touch" was on 12th. Not sure what the significance of that last one is.

It is my understanding that the "touch" was California service center safely receiving the transfer.

Are you guys seeing "touch" on My Case Status? Mine has only said "Case Received" since around the NOA1 date, March 4th.

On the MyUSCIS case tracker login service your case will have a "Last Updated" section with a date. "Touch" is simply a blanket term for any time your case is physically handled because it gets scanned every time. It could be anything from being received or handed from one adjudicator to another.

Received 2/3 last updated 2/8

There's 300 odd cases between us then, stretching over 3 days... Probably has no bearing on when either of us will be approved though.

On the app, I see "Feb 16" as the date....but if I am tracking on USCIS when logged into my account, the date shows as "Feb 22" which is what some call a "touch"

Feb 22 is likely when the service center received your case and placed it in the workload (or pile for lack of a better description).

Ah I see, thanks. Mine has a date 5 days after my NOA1, then. Makes sense.

Exactly!!....

I fear every applicant is at the mercy of the karmic balance: those who receive their NOA2 super fast are doomed to wait on the NVC. Knowing my luck I'll hit the 80 day mark before I receive mine and then get an NVC number a week later. Madness.

Unfortunately it looks like everbody has to wait. They sent them to NVC one week at a time ...
