OCTOBER FILERS

[Klaire and Martin 0]

Just curious, how many touches do you guys get following the week after you received NOA1? Ours were received on the 17th and hardcopy arrived on the 22nd, since then, we've been touched twice.

Since holiday season is coming, i wish USCIS still work during those days for the sake we paid for the more expensive price - however, we are receiving a slower service instead!

What does it look like on the web site when it has been touched?

Wow you both have been touched twice, I've checked the case status religiously since I received the NOA1 and still no touches

Touches mean nothing 99% of the time. Don't fret over it.

Yeah I guess, it's just the palcebo effect you know, psychologically it's nice to know someone did something with the case lol

Just checked our account today and we were touched again, even on Sunday! Seems most people being touched is good, we are actually feeling nervous for being touched 3 times shortly after we received NOA1. Oh well.. hope it is for good!

Just wait...the obsessiveness only continues after you get the number from your cashed check! Multiple checks daily of the USCIS website for "touches"... I knew I was crazy, but geez!!!

Just mailed our I-129F today to CSC. Now the waiting begins!

Not sure yet - Oregon maybe, but it could be Chicago, New York, SF or Connecticut. It's all down to which Law School the Mrs decides on ...

Not a bad dilemma to have though really ...

Finally my new check cleared the bank. I was starting to get a little nervous about it. I have had no touches either. I'm hoping that doesn't mean anything. I'm just relieved to know that they have it and they are still working on it and it isn't just sitting on a shelf somewhere.

To answer the question about where we'll live. Hopfully, my fiance will be able to find work in computer science where I live now. I have 3 kids and I'm sure they'd like to stay here, but we'll see what happens.

I am new to all of this but since I filled in October I thought that I should add my name to the waiting list.

Good luck to everyone!

Ok everyone. I know that touches don't mean a whole lot in general, but mentally they mean something to us. So I have a question. Does it say touched on the main page when you enter your case? I had to mail a new check and it cashed Monday, so I think my case should say touched. They'd have to do something to it to cash the check. Don't you think? I'm just getting curious here. Thanks in advance.

as far as I'm aware, it NEVER says 'touched', and the only indication you'll get that it has been is once you're logged in - you'll see a sort of grid thing, with your case number, and a 'last updated' box, and if that date has changed, your file has been 'touched'

mine was touched - I guess - on August 2, and not since then; I'm not sure if that was just the NOA1 (received date is down as July 19 on the hard copy, but July 27 on the website, so I guess they could have still been fiddling with it on August 2 ) but I don't really care either way... touches mean nothing; just want that NOA2 so I can start making plans!! do they realise I have to fit in a trip to Australia after leaving London, AND organise the shipping of all my worldly goods from two continents?! they're so inconsiderate

I never made an account, it said you didn't have to, only if you wanted to receive e-mail notifications. Do you get more information if you receive an account?
