Wow, what a relief to find this site, Good luck to all of you, I know I will be checking in frequently and am glad to see the posts. It is encouraging! Are any of you attempting to plan a wedding while waiting for the visa? My fiance and I have talked about waiting until I enter the U.S. before sending invitations and confirming venues etc., but just curious what other people are doing.

It's tricky tring to figure out if November NOA1's will allow for a July wedding. Is that cutting it too close? I guess anything can happen....maybe it's just safer to wait till it's all gone through?

That is exactly what I'm doing - wedding planning. I'm hoping for a July wedding as well. What I'm doing is to contact the vendors, but NOT book anything until he has the visa. We'll have a 1st choice, 2nd choice, and 3rd choice for each vendor. Then, when he has the visa, we'll just set a date and make a few calls.

I just got touched for a second time also. Maybe December is a touchy month in California.

They are. They probably actually touched it late Friday, but it didn't download into the system until Monday.

I show a touch already today That makes 3 in one week . Last Friday , Monday and today . I hope that isn't a bad sign . Maybe they just really like me.

Thanks! That sounds like a smart way to do it, at least it will make this waiting process go by faster.

I just have one question. What does "touched" mean? We received our NOA1 dated November 6, and have not been touched as far as I know. Does it show up on your case status with USCIS?

If you have set up your account to view the case online when you pull up your account there is a date about last activity. When they do something to your file they update that date. Problem is you don't know what they did. Did they just put it on someone desk or have a problem or move it closer to being done. I check every day . And this week I have been touched 3 times. Hopefully is a good thing there are no new comments online and I haven't gotten any emails. At least I know it is being passed around

Our NOA1=11/29/07

I have not been touched either - Vermont. Envious of Cali-filers at moment... NOA1 11/1/07. Tis the test of patience. Have to trust that all this delay has purpose in the big scheme of things... Middle of hockey season at moment anyway, and my soon-to-be son is a goalie on the Vitebsk, Belarus 10 yr. old league Country Champion team (he tended goal this past week against another team 19-1 victory - told him he was like a brick wall, nothing through!) Anyway, feeling helpless so thought I would at least post something to make me feel as if I were actually doing something....

I have been "touch" as well..I don't put any meaning into it. It's a little bit early, maybe they are just re-organizing the files they received during the month of november..so that's why we've all been "touch".
