OK. So when do we start to panic if we haven't been touched?

My SO is working real unsociable hours at the moment as he works for the US Air force so it's hard for him to call right now.

We were only touched around the time of our NOA1.

:unsure:

Oh, Roselinda I feel for you! From your timeline, you sent your application before me, so I'm sure your file will be approved very soon. I wouldn't worry about your SO not being able to call, we've never made a single call to USCIS, and I have never seen any evidence on these forums that calling makes any difference. Also, lots of people get approved without ever getting a touch, so who knows, next time you log in you might just be approved!! I hope so. (F)

Hey thanks for that! Real nice of you. I think you were before us as my actual receipt date is October 31. I guess this place just panics me a little.

Darn VSC! :angry: lol

Exactly! True, calling and getting them to tell you that the file is physically still there may be good for piece of mind, but otherwise, it isn't all that helpful.

As for your receipt date, there should be two dates on the NOA1 that they send in the mail. One is what they consider your "receipt date" and the other is the date they issued the NOA1. The receipt date should be something a lot closer to when you actually mailed it. Obviously they do not process them in precisely the order received, but at least theoretically it is the receipt date (not the NOA1 date) that they go by. So you are ahead of me and Meridien, even though that does not necessarily mean you will get it sooner. UGh. Good luck to you. This waiting thing really is difficult.
