My NOA: not touched?

[onofre 1]

I've recieved my NOA 1 on April 3rd. I've signed up on the USCIS for email updates. I've seen that some VJ member's timelines and mostly their NOA were "touched" a couple of days after recieving it. Its been almost 2 wks since I got mine but so far no "touched" messages have arrived.

So how does that work? Does it actually says "touched" on the status or VJ members just put it like that or is it official message from the USCIS dept...

The "last updated" date will change. But don't worry too much, some people dont get touched at all.

Thanks so much, that link clearly explains it, but too bad there is no date yet on the table where the case number, email, last update, ect..table. But I guess is just patience. Thanks for the help!

So you've created an account on USCIS's page, put in your case number from your NOA1, and there is no date at all displayed under "Last Updated"? There should be a date displayed there, usually this date is one or two days from the date on your NOA1 letter you. (This is probably the "touch" that happens when USCIS cashes your check.) The situation with "touches" is quite tricky, because some members will have a few touches throughout the processing time for their case, others have reported no "touches" at all until they receive their approval.....so it is not a 100% accurate method of tracking progress on your case.

If there is no date displayed in your USCIS account page, upon log in to the system....you may want to give the customer service a call to make sure your application is in their system. It sounds unusual that there be no date displayed online at all.....especially since you already have your receipt letter (NOA1) from USCIS which has the date on it....at least that date should be displayed on the web-page when you log in.

Good luck!
