HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT???? Lol Im going crazy I want to know if ours has been touched, I have been looking at ( https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/Dashboard.do ) but I dont see a spot for it to say it was touched! Am i looking in the wrong place? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

This has been covered a million times, at least a few times per week. You should get in the habit of reading old posts and the wiki. http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/Touched

I'm sorry if you don't like the truth but it is very easy to find the answers to most questions if you do about 5 minutes of looking. In the end, it's faster for you because you don't have to wait for people to respond.

We will all keep this in mind the next time you have a question.

Did you forget this is a self help site? We have many people that browse this site not wanting to join for various reasons. The idea is to provide someone with an answer in a cooperative manner. Instead of providing a rude comment, you could have just provided the link and moved on.

Welcome to VJ, I am new as well. And I have experienced very nice, helpful people on here.

No, question is silly, and don't feel you can't ask them. Maybe you don't have all day to look through

forums and info, that is provided. We all have busy lives!

GOOD LUCK on your Journey!

Here's a place to find the info on what it is and how to see if you were touched:

Strangely enough I took it from a post made by JLovesA

How is that strange? I often provide helpful links for people. What IS strange is that it generally takes me under 5 minutes to find an answer to someone's question. Why we all don't learn how to use our heads and do research is beyond me.

You just posted the exact same article I did, congratulations.

All I meant was I was quoting a post by you, when you were the one that told them to search better. I'm amused by the irony. That's all. Chill.

very nicely said and I so agree if the question is asked a million times then so be it!!!!!!!

That doesn't make any sense at all. I fail to see the irony in the situation, even remotely.

Obviously I know it's a self-help site. But it takes less than 5 minutes to scan back a few pages to find an answer to a question. IMHO it's incredibly lazy not to do the research yourself. That's why VisaJourney is a good self-help site...it offers more than just a forum; it has guides, wikis, and FAQs and it takes almost no effort to find them.

I'm inclined to agree with you, sometimes it drives me insane seeing the same 5 questions being posted multiple times a day. I don't understand how people can't figure out what seems so obvious to me. That being said, when someone asks an inane question that I don't feel like answering because I really think that if they just took 10 seconds to search for it they would find it, that's when I ignore them and let someone else come along to answer their question. Becuase (as you can see from this thread specifically) they most certainly will.

Since you and I are such "experts" we can let the other newbies handle the easy questions like "can i visit?" and "who do i make the check out to?" and "what's a touch." Save your time for the more difficult stuff.
