This question might have been asked before but how do you find out if your case has been touched. I logged into the USCIS website but there have been no updates. It is just frustrating to see the same thing everyday.

the "Last Updated" date will change, even though inside the message stays the same..

I not understanding about the touch statement to knowing that its been touched.

[gogo 6]

when you log into the USCIS Website, you can add case numbers to your "portfolio".. there are columns stating "type of application", "last updated", and a few others.. the "last updated" column will change due to touches.. meaning they just look at your case without processing/approving it..

have you created an account on USCIS yet? If not, you might not know what I'm talking about.. I'll tell you more later if you like..

Raj0327..

As far as I know, you NOT seeing any update(as in the last updated date column) in the USCIS CRIS portfolio in itself means "NO TOUCH".. If I m wrong then someone please correct me..but sorry to be the bearer of the bad news but unfortunately thats the truth I believe... I hope I am wrong.. btw, I have been in the same boat for some time too but based upon my timeline I m not surprised in my case..

Tho I should mention here that getting a TOUCH is good to some extent.. that means someone at USCIS is working on your case(mostly) but that touch in itself doestn't guarantee any approval and/or RFE generation... because I think there have been some cases where there was no touch in the USCIS site but the case still got worked on and approved or an RFE was generated.. and their USCIS portfolio had no UPDATES whatsoever... So bottom line is, dont worry TOO much about NOT getting a touch or for that matter getting a touch.. cause it could amount to be EVERYTHING or NOTHING.. Just keep on checking the app status every so often.. If your case gets touch lets say after a few months since your last update(touch), usually that means USCIS is working on your case.. where and what it will lead to is anybody's guess.. Hopefully towards NOA2...

Hope this helps..

Hi,

Iam filing a K3 visa and I didnt see my chart there with the estimate timeline. I name is Ahmad, I filed I-30 with CSC, on 5/25/07 and recieved my NOA1 on 6/12/07 by mail. I filed my I-129F to Chicago on 6/23 and recieved my NOA1 on 7/3/07

Welcome Ahmad to our thread . I will add you to the chart. by now, Chicago should have sent your petition to either CSC or VSC. You can check by signing up online.

This list has expanded significantly but still missing data shaded in red. PM me if you have updates or post in thread.

The names are / sorted by month when the I-129F NOA1 was received.

Good luck.

Hi All !

I had to wait a few days to get confirmation, but I am finally able to make an official announcement about this! I got some amazing news on my situation!

As some of you might have noticed on some of my other posts, I not only had an application in for an I-130 and an I-129F, but also was pursuing a claim to derivative US Citizenship thru my father. In order to get proof of US Citizenship, I had to file a passport application. However when I went in for my passport interview earlier this year, the consulate was extremely discouraging about my chances of getting it- even though I thought I had a pretty good amount of evidence to prove my case. So I decided to go ahead and risk the money and inconvenience of filing the visa forms at the same time, so I wouldn't have wasted any time if the citizenship case fell through.

Well to my joy, a couple of days ago I got a phone call from the consulate informing me that my US passport application had been approved and that I was indeed, a US Citizen already!!!!

I do have to mention something - although I had been trying to get information on my citizenship case for months from the consulate, they didn't respond at all and it wasn't until after I contacted a congressman to intervene on my behalf, that I got this call. So if any of you are having problems with your visa applications and wondering if you should contact a congressperson for help, I say go for it! Congresspeople Rock!!!!

I am still in shock over this! I have a sort of guilty feeling about announcing this here, as I know everyone else still has to go thru this horrible ordeal of interviews and fees and separations from their loved ones. I guess the good news for you all is that as I withdraw my applications, it leaves two interview spots for you guys to fill up faster!

I would like to thank everyone here for their wonderful support, help, tips and advice. For listening sympathetically when I wanted to rant, and for your patience when I asked the same question for the nth time. Good luck to you all and I hope the NOA2 logjam breaks soon.

I'd especially like to thank G&A for the fantastic chart, which you may now remove my name from!

I check online and it seems that they have not touch it as of yet. I got my first NOA1 on the I-129f. I do I find out if it has been sent to CSC or VSC. I have sent everything to them including my wife criminal background from the courts and police. Will this speed the process up if I sent all document pretty much I send more than they ask for. I need to know how I can check with them to see if they sent it to CSC or VSC.
