I can now track my case online!! YES! I used the receipt number on the notice but I also tried tracking the number that was stamped on my check and it didn't work. I will be mailing my I-129F today! Hope I can get my NOA1 within this month.

I had 2 case numbers also. Off by 2 digits. I've heard it's normal. The one on the NOA1 is the 'real' one that you can check online and all..
I had to wait almost 3 months for my NOA1

sent Nov. 7

I was actually surprised!! I was getting ready to wait a couple of weeks before being able to track it online. I hope this is a sign of good things to come. USCIS should be receiving my I-129F today so I'm hoping I'll receive the NOA1 in the next 2 weeks.

sent our i-130 on 12-17-07 and we still have yet to receive our NOA1 ... i called and they told me we were not in the system yet and to please wait 90 days... before we could file a "formal" complaint.
I also asked why there web site says they are almost up to date when they have not even finished all of December... but there was no answer. grrrr....
I think USCIS has far surpassed the DMV as the slowest branch of the government ever... lol

We got our NOA1 for the I 129f on the 16th of February. That was a great surpise

We only sent it in on the 6th and have to go through the CSC. So, we have some hope left that things may be moving quicker than expected now after all...

QUESTION: do you really think the I-129F aka K3 is faster than just going by the I-130? I have heard several times that the K-3 route is not that fast and since they have the 130 in their hands before the K3 docs, they are going to process the ones they get first?
Does anyone have actual experience in this?

Hey everyone! just joined this site.. we started the process Beginning of December.. Really wishing we'd found this site!! but glad we have it now.. he is the one goign through the entire process but obviously we're working on it together.. I really enjoy reading all of this as it helps us know whats coming up for us! Anyways.. I just thought i'd post instead of just lurk!
Just one question... What exactly does it mean when you see "touch" here?..
Thanks!!
onizuka
Mar 4 2008, 04:33 PM
As I understand, TOUCH means that someone accessed your petition (it's when your LAST ACTION DATE changes on the USCIS online case status). Most people here seems to get a lot of TOUCHES before an approval.

You got that right! Those 2 touches got me very excited to the point that I check my status up to 4 times a day! I know I haven't even waited that long yet but this is driving me crazy.

I check mine virtually non-stop. I have my computer at work and home log on to the that useless USCIS online status page. I don't know how many time I refresh that page in a day. All I know is that if I run an organization like them, I'd provide people with better information!!! Hopefully there will be some sort of activity this week.....

Looking at your sig, I saw that one of the petitions got the two touches - did you not get touches on both together? Does it mean anything if they're touched together or not?

Yes, they only touched my I-130. Maybe it was just by accident that it got touched but I believe some people had their I-130 approved first before their !-129F, so maybe I'm going that route.
