Hello May filers, I just could not handle the torture any longer so this morning I decided to call USCIS using the RFE trick. A nice Hispanic lady took my call and she immediately requested for my receipt # and asked what type of application I had submitted. Then she confirmed my name and home address. To my surprise, she said the magic word...... “approval notice was sent on September 4th 2007”. I quickly asked her what date the petition was approved and she replied August 31st. So my 08/31st touch resulted in NOA-2. USCIS website still says our case is still in “received and pending” status. We did not receive any email notification too. Thank God this part of the journey is behind us. What an angonishing painful wait! I would advice other filers that have been waiting (at least 120 days) and did experience a touch to call USCIS to check perhaps their petition has already been approved. For those that are still waiting, hold tight your good news is on the way. Oh yes....This is going to be a good weekend. Cheers!!!
BTW, VJ projected NOA-2 date was 09/22/07
NOA-2 Approved !!!!!

Always wondered, How do you tell your case has been "touched"? Where do you find this information?

Click on the link to register your case on USCIS website and you can tell when your case has been touched when the 'last updated date' changes.

We were NEVER touched and never told we were approved, the RFE trick did not work because the tard who took my call refused to give me any information, so I called NVC and found out our case was there....obviously approved.
Anyway....Congratulations to you, Arinola ! It's a great feeling, isn't it.

Make sure you let us know when your interview will be. I'm curious to know the interview dates that Lagos is currently giving out to people. I'm wondering if I'll even be able to get an interview this year.
