I have filed my K-3 I-129F at Chicago Lockbox.

The case was issued a MSC number in Chicago, and the NOA1 was sent from Chicago.

Upon getting the NOA1, I add the case number to my profile on USCIS site.

I see I have a date of 3-11 when I added it yesterday.

Then today at 9am, it already has a date change of 3-13.

Is this what people call a touch? The date is the only thing that changes?

Also, does MSC approve petitions, or only send the petitions to other centers?

Thanks,

Well, lets see.. that just makes alot of sense.... NOT !

I send to Chicago.. Someone opens the package, reads the petition enough to know it is K-3 129F. They enter it to the computer and assign a MSC number. Generate NOA1 and put it in an envelope. Send me the NOA1 letter from Chicago. Forward my petition package to Missouri, only to have someone else read the petition enough to send it someplace else.

Now, I have see a public announment that USCIS is trying to get 130's and 129F's together in the same place, so I guess my petition is going to CSC since this is where my 130 is. Wow, you would think that someone at Chicago would know this already and sent it directly to CSC instead of MSC.

OH, then theres the 130. I send it to TSC only to have them send it to CSC. Nice...

No wonder people petitions get lost.

Something else kind of strange... on the USCIS profile of this petition it states """ You can use our processing dates to estimate when yours will be done. This case is at our MISSOURI SERVICE CENTER location. Follow the link below to check processing dates. """" If you check processing dates MSC sure enough has 129F listed as processing.

Maybe MSC is going to approve some petitions?
