If I don't get approval by the end of the week, or early next week I'm going to try a congressional inquiry. With that many touches, something must be wrong. I am not a terrorist nor do I support them. I never have any criminal records. Never done anything illegally. Not a drug user. Something is up.

Look, chill out and stop with the congressinal inquiry talk !

You were told touces may or may not mean anything. It could mean that the file was

carried over to another desk. It could mean they read your long organised file again.

It could mean their egg sandwich dropped on it during lunch......be thankful for your

reasonable timetable at this stage and take a chill pill !

You are driving yourself crazy. It will come. Patience.

EXACTLY. Touches mean nothing - it's NOT a sign that something is wrong. It is NOT a sign that they think you are a terrorist or support them. It is NOT a sign that they think you are a criminal , did something illegal or use drugs. It DOES NOT mean something is up. It means someone TOUCHED your file.

Just because one person got three touches in a row and then approval does NOT mean this will happen to you or will not happen to you.

RELAX. You are within normal processing time. Have a cocktail.
