Silly question - what does "touched" mean?

Every time a USCIS employees physically touches your case file (even if just to move it from one shelf to another), they have to scan the bar code, and it comes up as a "touch" on the online system.

Problem is - will we believe any applications that get approved today, bearing in mind the date?!?

SCREAMING and GRINNING ear to ear because I just got the NOA2.

Just spoke with Pete last night by phone and he sounded down and bored -- "can't get there soon enough." Before I went to bed I checked the USCIS site and it was still received and pending. Not even touched. But I knew from here that it's been taking about 39 days so I was thinking maybe soon........

I never did get the email that I had signed up for telling me but our lawyer called this morning and she'd had an email from Vermont. I've been frantically trying to call Pete but can't get through. His computer is down too so he doesn't KNOW YET. Wait until he finds out. Somebody do the numbers for me -- I'm too excited to count. Was it about 40 days?

I just can't understand how people are being approved in a little over a month! I was expecting to wait until the summer to even get looked at! And according to the processing times on the website, they are only processing September applications. How is everyone getting approved so fast?

My boyfriend called USCIS and they said he should have got a letter, and they would send another one.

I will try to be patient.

Congratulations newenglander... from another newenglander! :)

Congratulations to you as well MeteorRain. :)

psalm... processing times on the USCIS website are to protect themselves so people don't call. Although there are some 'stragglers', they are rarely working on the dates they say they are. ;)VSC is processing quite fast these days but it still all depends on which adjutictor's desk you end up on. ;) Good luck to you.

I hope the rest of you February filers are approved soon!
