We are still waiting to receive news from USCIS, we have till oct for the 5 month deadline, he is considering moving to Tijuana to be closer to me since I live in Los Angeles, should we wait until it has been received at NVC or is it ok considering that at this time they should be doing background checks on his work, home, etc. Also are the last update or "touched" status online reliable, I've only been updated a couple of days after my NOA1 and am getting worried...Thanks for taking the time to read this, I truly appreciate all VJ members comments!

hmmm.. I was thinking it might have an effect since I know they will be doing extensive background checks on both of us during the initial review, maybe we can wait till after it has been approved and received at NVC, but thanks though!

Last update or "touched" doesn't mean much of anything.

Thanks,i've been reading that I'm not the only one that's confused and put off by being "touched" lol, now i wont put much thought into it

1) Take the word touched out of your vocabulary

2) Have him move as soon as he can

3) It won't matter even a tiny little bit in the process

4) Zip down to see him as often as possible

5) Be happy

6) This is a new beginning--it will be great
