OCTOBER FILERS

[Meridien 0]

According to the USCIS website we have been touched on the 16th,18th and 19th of October.....Our Petition was received on the 10th and NoA 1 issued on the 12th.

I'd like to know why we're being touched that much.........good or bad sign?

Everytime I see a touch I worry about an RFE.....

We've received 3 touches this week too, after receiving our NOA1 on October 11th...I'm a bit worried about the possibility of an RFE, but what can you do? From everything I've read on these forums, the touches are pretty random - some people never get a single one, while others get lots. It doesn't appear to have any correlation to how quickly people's applications are adjudicated. So let's hope it's a good sign!

We got our NOA1 yesterday!! According to mail service it arrived in CSC on the 15th but receipt date was 18th. Never mind, this is already shorter than we expected. Hopefully the delay is solved or improved!

I don't have the NOA1 yet, but I did finally get the green card back from the postal service and it was stamped "USCIS received 10/12/07" even though, according to the USPS website, it was successfully delivered on the 9th. I'm almost afraid to check to see whether my check has cleared yet. If it hasn't, I will be more worried than if I don't check. If it has, well, all that means is I can obsessively check the USCIS website.

Good luck! I hope you get it one of these days!

Okay, our check cleared Friday. I don't have online banking so I'm going to have to go next door (to the bank) to get a printout of the back of the check before I can go on their site to find the NOA1, but I'm assuming for now that they have issued it. Our whole office is going out to lunch today for a combined birthday lunch for me and our secretary so I will probably do that tomorrow. For now, I'm just relieved that we are probably in the system.

When I told my mom about the three-day difference between the reciept date USCIS stamped on the return reciept card and the USPS website, she said "Oh, that's the federal government for you." She is a retired federal employee, too.

NOA1 recieved in the mail today. It is dated Oct. 17th even though they sent my application back because of the amount on my check. I'm very happy to see that they still process it even with that.

[SonoranSongbird 3]

I'm glad they kept your receipt date the same!

Okay, stupid question here, but I have a copy of the back of the check (blown up to about twice the size of a check, too) and there are MANY different numbers on there and I have no idea which is the file number/case number/whatever they call it. Is there a certain number of digits in it? Or a certain part of the check it would be on?

[SonoranSongbird 3]

Okay, ignore the above question. It was obvious when I got on the website for USCIS.

For anyone else whose check has just cleared who has not gotten their NOA1 yet, just go on USCIS website and follow the links for "check status online." Their description of which number is the receipt number is very clear (13-digit number beginning with certain 3-letter codes, which are listed there).

I was hoping I would be able to figure it out when I got on the site, but I really never dreamed it would be that clear.

And...

WOOHOO! NOA1 was October 16th! If I did not live in the middle of the cornfields, I'd probably already have it in the mail.

I'm so glad I found this thread, well someone told me about it after I started one just like it lol.

The VSC received my I-129F on Oct. 9 and I recieved my I-797C on Oct. 17, I think that's the NOA1 isn't it?

Well still a while to go unfortunately but, it's nice to know me and my love are not alone, good luck to all of you.
