Hi Everyone,

I see a lot of signatures and information on the site that show files as being 'touched'. How do you know this has happened? Is the USCIS site updated to reflect this? (I have subscribed on there with both my I130 and K3). It's only 75 days since my hubby sent off the I130 so I haven't yet experienced these :)

I also had a question regarding the costs of the K3, I know they are going up shortly and I have seen people quoting a AOS, EP and AP as being part of the costs incurred. Now the adjustment of status and employment permit I understand, but is the advanced parole actually a necessity or is it just a cost to bare in mind in case of emergencies?

When you log into your USCIS case file there is a date by each file. When that date changes that is a touch. It is basically whenever they do something or log into your case. As far as AP, we did not apply for it as we decided to wait on any trips until we had an I-551 stamp or green card in hand. It is a personal choice that is apparently getting bundled with the AOS package for the larger fee. I hope that this answers your questions. ;)

No longer in the hands of the USCIS, for my wife at least, next up MIL.

It answers them perfectly, thank you very much :) I wish they would show a history on the USCIS site, not just the last action.
