Were you checking your status on the USCIS website and you were prompted to change your password, then saw you were touched? I've tried calling with no luck and their website doesn't show any changes. The only thing I've seen is that my paperwork was touched on May 22 and May 23. That was the first sign of life since receiving my NOA1 approval back on March 2nd. I'm curious to know if this has been happening to other March filers.


Same thing happened to us. Our NOA1 was dated March 1st, we had our very first touches on May 21 and May 22. A few days ago I was prompted to change my password (I think it was the 24th).

I would call them. When your asked at the prompt (think it is 2), press for inquiring about information for RFE. I was touched May 23 and then nothing. I called May 23 and 24 and talked to USCIS and they said it was still pending. Then I called again on the 25th and keyed in for information regarding RFE I recieved(never got one, thought I would try something new) and then I was routed to the CSC where thw lady told me I was already approved May 22.

The USCIS people dont know s***!! The lady I spoke to was convinced they were working on November filers ONLY. She said the people on VJ were probably lying about their timelines.

The lady I spoke to at CSC also said USCIS personel dont know s***!!
Give it a try!! It cant hurt!!

Good luck everyone. good.gif

how do you go to RFE option? Did you have an RFE and does it ask to punch in some option in the RFE?
Dan&Tiffany
Congrats on all the approvals. It's exciting to see March filers getting NOA2. I KNOW they aren't done in order, but since people before and after us have been approved, I finally have hope that we'll see some movement soon!!!

It asks if you got something from them in the mail regarding more information required (RFE). I pressed yes for this. Then you get a human to speak too eventually. I told the lady "I think I got an RFE I am not sure, that is why I am calling" and thats when she told me "no, you were approved on May 22" . I never got an RFE, i had read a post on the RFE approach to get some answers directly from CSC because USCIS is clueless.

EXACT same thing happened to me. I called on the 24th, and got some woman at USCIS who just read me exactly the status it had on the website (i.e. that my case was received March 1, etc.). When I called the morning of the 25th though, I got connected to CSC directly and the woman told me I had been approved on the 22nd and that she would send the NOA2 asap.

It asked me to change my password, but I've been putting that off, clicking "change it later" or something.

My status never changed until after I called. I was also touched on May 22 and 23. I finally got through to someone who told me I was approved on the 22nd. I am really starting to believe that all the people touched on the 22nd and 23rd got approved on the 22nd, but we all just got the same lazy person who never bothered to change our status. I would keep calling; it took me a couple of times to get through to anyone helpful. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!!

Hope it leads to an approval for you!!!!!

I called CSC (via USCIS RFE line) and I was told that they are processing Nov 2006 cases
The lady I talked to knew nothing it seems - she did look up something on the computer as I could hear keying sounds. I told her that some of my friends from March have already got their approvals. She said, No - we are processing Nov 2006 cases only. so frustrating - privatise USCIS - beaurocracy is a failure.

It's as if they have the same limited capabalilties as us. That, or they're just reading of something in verbetim (my experience CSC as well). Frustrating.

On a positive note, it's good how the curve is breaking for March filers though. Congrats to those who received their NOA2s already, and good luck to those who are still waiting.

This thread is encouraging!! I hope I get my NOA2 in June sometime. I'm just super jealous of the VSC people...ah well, my Thai girl would hate the crap winters they get over in the northeast anyway! hahaha

ok I called them in the morning and now I just checked my status online and I notice a TOUCH (for a moment I could not believe it - how refreshing could a touch be, I had no idea prior to this moment smile.gif ).

Anyway, want to speculate on this touch now - what does it mean? Was it caused by my phone call this morning? Could it be that some human cleaned dusted off my folder and started to chug through the information?

I just wanted to keep the rest of my March filers updated with my progress. I got my NOA2 approved on May 23rd. NVC received it on MAY 29. They already assigned me a MNL#. Things are moving a lot faster than I imagined it would.

I am rooting for all of you to get your approvals soon!

I am also a march filer. Plz count me in...

I got to know about this site very late. I was searching for some info and google search brought me to this website and then I realized I found almost all the info I needed for my case.

I am an Indian who came for the first time as an Visitor (B2) and ended up marrying an US citizen in some fortunate circumstances. We dint know the rules at the time of wedding. We married in 40 days time of my arrival here to US.

We filed for AOS and EAD and got done with biometric and recieved AOS interview letter too. Now just waiting with fingers crossed for EAD and interview. Meanwhile my parents sent me all the info I needed from India and also my belongings and certificates. Now I am preparing for USMLE for residency.

I need your valuable suggestions and help all the time. I will contribute all that I can to this lovely forum.

I am glad I got to find you people. Good luck to everyone and wish me luck too.
