first touch after a million years

[ninjarocket 1]

My case just received a touch. Those with lightning fast approvals are probably wondering why I might be making such a big deal, but then this is the first touch not actually caused by me making a telephonephone call to USCIS. (service request calls to the USCIS helpline and RFE phonecalls to CSC both causes touches)

For about 1 minute I was really excited that they were finally working on my case. Then it suddenly occurred to me that the touch is probably caused only by a letter from my senator requesting a status report, which is probably the same as paking a phone call I hope it's more than that.

Hi Ninja,

I can understand how you feel. It s been a long wait for you. I wish this touch was a good sign and that you will see your approval notice very soon. Good luck to you...!!!

My advice would be to watch your Post Box. I was in same situation with an NOA1 date of October 19th, 2007. Finally was able to get Senator Durbin's office to call the CSC. They called on May 28th. I received a followup letter from the Senator's office informing me that on June 3rd the Congressional Inquiries desk sent Durbin's office an email saying I would get a letter within two weeks from the officer handling my case informing me of the status of the case. I saw that my file was touched on June, 2, June 3rd and June 6th with the status of the case on the Website listing as still pending.

On Saturday the 7th, in my Post Box was the NOA2 with an approval date of June 2nd........ My case status on the website still says "pending"....

I hope my situation is similar to yours, although I don't seem to have the multiple touches you received. Perhaps I would eventually get a letter with some sort of status on my case, stating that it will still take n months to process for various reasons. It would be much simpler and far preferable to have an approval of course. It depends on how the USCIS officer decides to spend their time: writing a letter of explanation or simply processing my case! My main complaint to my senator was about the k3 process... that it was originally intended to be as rapid as the k1 visa but clearly it is not.

I do wonder however why many VJ members with similar processing times as me have not had so much luck contacting their congressmen or senators. It probably doesn't help the situation that their offices are flooded with complaints from petitioners whose cases are still within the regular USCIS processing times.

Hang in there... It's hard the wait. But worth it in the end I am told.
