I had a feeling something was up.... :unsure: I thought I was the only one. I also received my first two touches over two days.

Anyone here try the RFE trick that the k-1r's are doing?

Seems that the CSC hasn't been sending RFE or approval emails or letters as they should be.

Just got an email from CRIS saying our application is now pending at the office it was transferred to (CSC).

I've heard of this "RFE trick" but not sure on exactly how to do it. Anyone know and should it be tried? It's getting close to being 100 days since NOA1. I already called USCIS and spoke with some rep. She told me if I didn't hear anything by August 15, call back! :blink:

Looks like CSC is a little too disorganized, huh? I would like to know if there is an RFE or even an approval out there somewhere!

I cannot answer exactly how to do it because I too am wondering exactly how this "trick" is done, but I remember skimming through some posts and some people say that you call up the USCIS number and go through the "RFE" thing where you punch in the numbers it tells you to...I guess maybe you pretend that you got an RFE and then when you finally get to speak to someone, maybe you feel them out about an RFE.

Someone please correct me on this because I don't believe this is how the exact "trick" goes. Thanks!

That link above is what I found on what this "trick" could be. I just did it actually. I went through the RFE prompts and talked with someone live...I didn't get anywhere though! :( He told me that my case is still pending and that it hasn't been updated at all. He also told me that it was probably a computer glitch and that many people have been calling in to ask about the same thing. They are trying to fix it.

So maybe they are too busy trying to fix a "computer glitch" instead of looking over our petitions and issuing our NOA2s? Nice. :rolleyes:

Maybe someone else will have better luck with this "trick"!

I tried the "trick" today.... was also told that touches could have been either an officer looking at my file, or just a glitch.

Good news is that there isn't an RFE.

HOWEVER, about an hour after I called I received another touch.

looks like touches can be given when our file is accessed via computer also. -_-

We got another touch today :P And we haven't called anyone at the service center about our file or anything like that, so I doubt it's any of our doing!

My I-130 petition was approved ... but not my son's! Very odd ... one approval is not much good to us ... Maybe the K3 will get approved soon :-)

Just like you, we got two touches this week, two last week and one on the week prior to that. But so far, no really good news. The good thing is that it looks as if CSC has approved almost the whole February now, so an approval shouldn't be too far off :thumbs:.
