i just on uscis and finally got appoved i thank the lord for this day and i am so happy and now the journey begin.

I have a PD for June 6th.
It just made sense to me to split the month since there are already approvals being done at CSC for June. Where those of us that are in VSC are still hoping to be approved by early Nov.

Thanks a lot for a very very informative reply...my husband stays in seattle area and he applied for me and our daughters on 15th june2012 .after around 15 days he got a call frm USCIS ..they asked for the copy of his passport to cofirm abt his visit to india...he immidiatly sent it by fax...second time they called in last week of jully...they wanted the processing fees he did that immidiatly...now til date no call frm office and no hard copy also...i am keeping my fingers crossed and waiting for the same...!!!

It will also show up as a touch when your petition has been assigned to someone or, in some cases, unassigned from someone. From what I have read and been told, it is common also that you may only see 1 touch the entire time your petition is being processed.
Also, a very important one is TLA - This is a very common term that we all live by here.
TLA or 'Three Letter Acronym' is what lets us speak in code so the USCIS officials don't know that we know what they are up to.

"Touched" means that they (USCIS) accessed your case, so it could be that they were reviewing something, or adding information, or any reason for them to open your file. RFE means Request for Evidence, so once they are reviewing your case at any time they can ask for more information if what you provided wasn't enough- such as providing enough evidence to prove an ongoing relationship, or it could be simple things like you forgot to a sign a paper or you are missing a paper, etc. RFE is generally (I say generally because you can still be refused) the step before you are approved. Not everyone gets an RFE, but they are quite common from what I have seen. I hope that answers your questions.

I filed the I130 in the Chicago Lockbox
We have a priority date of June 4th
It is being processed at VSC and was last touched on June 13th
Haven't received any information since then.
Good luck everyone!
