I have received a touch after the consulate in Dublin has sent me the packet 3 and after I have sent back the packet 3. Now I'm waiting for the last packet (4) with the interview date, and had a touch last week. First I started to worry! Then someone on the forum has said that if there was anything wrong they would notify you (e-mail).

Everything is ok. They register a touch even if they move your files from one cabinet to another!

Good luck.

PS I noticed that after a while of dealing with USCIS we all freak out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats as well on your NOA2...yeah it does look like we are neck-in-neck. I actually don't even know what a touch is, or how to see if i have one. Sorry I am answering you with a question...lol...but are you guys gathering things for the papers before they get to Peru? Or are you waiting? Also, when are we supposed to turn in the sponsor paper (and proof of being employeed, bank statements, etc). Good Luck!

Finally after 4 years apart, we can be together. ^^

I am getting everything ready to send to Elias this week. I'm mostly waiting for the hard copy of the NOA2 to come in the mail so I can include a copy of that too. For the Interview date he will need the financial papers with him.

I talk to another couple that is going through Peru right now and they said they just received the packet 3 & 4 by mail and their interview is the 20th.....luckily they had already called the embassy and had the date so they are prepared but they advised to call in and stay on top of things just in case....

A touch is regisered on the USCIS website. You need to be loged in to the website (they ask you for case number, and you create a username and a password- that way you can see if they are even reading your case at the moment- or doing almost anything).

After NOA2 you should be gathering papers right away- like the proof of relationship, police certificates etc. You will need them for the interview. You don't send them.

After NOA2 your case will be forwarded to the embassy in your counry and the embassy sends you a packet (3). The instructions will tell you what to do.

You don't send the affidavit of support or the documents supporting it, but take it to the interview. Just read the instructions carefully!

Right now it's tme to gather documents like; birth certificate, police certificate, evidence of relationship, affidavit of support, and get ready for the interview!

Good luck :thumbs:

Our case was touched LONG after my husband was here and had completed AOS! Who knows what that was about....unless they were carting his file off to some dusty vault. :)

Her fiance will be taking these items to his interview. Only Mayo will get a copy of packet 3 (and packet 4, the interview letter, will be included in Peru) and parts of it will need to be mailed back before his interview date. Everything else he will present in the interview.

But everything she has she will need to send to him. (Or take to the Interview if attending....)
