We still waiting for the NOA1 to come through :( Guess it is only day 2 since my Fiance called... But still... hate the waiting :) lol...

What does "touch" mean and do you get a notification of these or can you track your process? If you can track your process how do you do it?? :)

Thanks and hope you keep getting more updates, even if they are only "touches" :thumbs:

Oh!!! maybe something I can answer.

When you get your NOA1 it will have your case number included. It might start with the letters "WAC". You can then go to uscis.gov and check the status. Look on the left side of the screen for "Check my case status". You will need to click there and then you will see a place where you can enter your case number. The screen will show you what stage your case is in. The display is not detailed. There are lots of posts here on VJ that say their case status never changed on USCIS web site. While you are looking at the status, check the menu to the left. You can sign up for email updates.

Hope that helped.

And you will become an expert at waiting :)

And you will become an expert at waiting :)

You can also set up an account. This will show you when they last updated or "touched" your case. The page your talking about will probably show it in "initial review" most of the time.

If you go to the left and say "sign into my account" or "open an account" you can make a user name and password and then when thats done you add your case number to it.

Once you add your case number to your account, it will show you when the file was last updated. In my case it first said the date they issued the NOA1, then the 15th, and then it said the 18th. So I knew that they had touched it twice since sending me an NOA1.

Apparently the touches don't mean much. Some get lots of touches and it still goes as slow as those who get no touches. HOWEVER, I get excited, because it means someone touched my file :P

Hope you get it soon! I know what you mean, this is going to completely occupy my life for the next five months until I get my NOA2. I had to force myself off the computer this morning and go read a book so I was doing ANYTHING else.

Just wait till you get your NOA1 and case number. You'll be checking the site everyday looking for touches!

Good luck!

"Wait for the person who pursues you, the one who will make an ordinary moment seem magical, the kind of person who brings out the best in you and makes you want to be a better person; wait for the person who will be your best friend, the person who will drop everything to be with you at anytime no matter the circumstances, wait for the person who makes you smile like no one else does and when they smile you know they need you. Wait for the person who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats and a t-shirt, but appreciates it when you dress up for them. And most of all wait for the person who will put you at the center of their universe because that's where you belong."
