Lots of touches but no NOA's

[K.Robert 0]

My I129f has been touched 4 times.

3/20 received?

3/30 Check cashed I assume?

4/2 ?

4/4 ?

My question is does the USCIS website show the current status i.e will I see NOA1?

Or does this notice come via email?

Is it common to see a few touches before a NOA1?

Just courious and impatient.

I don't know - I didn't sign up online until after I'd received my NOA1. I only got one touch after that - 5 days after my check was cashed (then no touches until NOA2). Has the check not cleared yet?

But I do know that once they receive your package, they have to scan it in whenever it is moved for tracking purposes. It could be that you're just being moved from the mail room, to where they process the check, to the shelf where the petition will be until it is pulled by an adjudicator.

Search for Huskerkiev's posts. He's a former adjudicator at NSC - good insights into the process.

You may see a couple touches right at the begininng as it gets forwared to the right place. But generally after that, your petition will be sitting in a queue for about 3 months before you see anything else.

The Last Updated date changes, ours has changed 4 times.

I assume the touch on 4/2 and 4/4 was to get our case to the adjudicator???

It is possible, that you somehow jumped the line, its happened before. But whats more likely, its your case was moved to where it will be sitting for the next 2-3 months. Every time your case file is moved from one place to another it gets touched, but it doesnt mean that someone is working on it.

So you have your NOA1 then. Unless I'm confused....

(How else can you know your case has been touched. )

The USCIS will very likely show Pending as your case status.

I have nothing thats why I posted.

I waited for our check to clear, took the case number, plugged it into the USCIS website, registered and asked for email updates and thats it.

I have checked a few times and see that the Last Action date has changed a few times which indicate touches correct?

I travel and pick up snail mail every 2 weeks and was hoping that the USCIS website or emails would be a good way to track our petition.

NOA1 is our case has been opened correct?

It could be that our case has just been received and barcoded and is being sent to where it will be adjudicated.

it would be assigned a bar code, which when scanned is how a case is "touched" ..

total speculation on my part my assume that when you file thru TSC perhaps it is ..

given a bar code (touch 1)

transferred to CSC (touch 2)

noa-1 (touch 3)

check cashed (touch 4)

Good Luck

Most likely you will get your NOA1 soon. Just be patient. If they already cashed your check, and have entered information about your case onto their server (Which they must have in order for you to see touches), then rest assured there is nothing wrong with your case. The paper NOA1 is probably sitting in their mail room, is in the mail now, or got lost somewhere (in which case you can most likely request another).
