Beleive me I know the wait can be devastating, but these things do get approved. Just to put your mind at ease... hopefully. My I-130 was touched just once in three months, then no touches till approval day. The I-129F was touched a few times, the first was the transfer to california, then a month later a few more touches, then nothing for more than a month, finally the approval emails show up.

Where do u guys see "touched" I've never gotten touches since filing....waiting for NOA 2 approval....

good luck to u'll

Go the to USCIS website and register your petitions, then look in the date columns next to the applications, the dates there change each time someone "touches" your file. I beleieve they scan a barcode on your file each time it is moved, looked at, used as a door stop, whatever, etc.

I'm sorry I dont understand what you mean by register your petitions. I know to check case status on uscis.gov and there are no dates there. Thank you.

Create a user account (customer) on the USCIS instead of just checking.

https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/index.jsp

then click on this " Create/Edit customer portfolio account"
