IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Application "touched"	I can remember being confused by what "touched" meant also. Basically it is if that date changes to a different date but the "Status" of the case remains the same. That signals that someone did something on your case and logged the date. That is all. Mine was never "touched" so don't get too bent out of shape if this doesn't happen for your case. Edited by worth_the_wait, 18 May 2012 - 10:27 AM.	worth_the_wait	Female	Pakistan	2012-05-18 10:26:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	first i'd like to say WAKE THE F UP VERMONT AND GET YOUR ####### TOGETHER! *takes a deep breath* i still cannot believe Paul and Van are still going through this #######. it's ridiculous!! Poacher, grats on the wedding!!!! bet Veka is happy with at least her permit. soon enough she'll have her license and her independence to bustle around. Solmarc, glad the medical went by without any hiccups. best of luck on the interview!! Princess, that was sweet of Ken to take the day off so that you could see the wee one's off to school. glad they've got mates to play with and a wee kitty to boot! Les hope the days are passing quickly, 24th isn't far off now. keep your spirits up luv! Joe and I are still waiting on our P4. Rather unsure whether it'll come to me, or him. We're up in Canada at my mums place (been back since Sept 1), he leaves to go back to the US tomorrow morning (I've been lucky enough to spend the summer in the US and he brought me back to Canada do the last minute stuff for the process and so now we'll be separated until the day before the interview date). I thought for sure we'd have received something in the post by now but nothing's come yet.	yourcdnangel	Female	Canada	2010-09-09 13:21:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	been 42 days since our P3 was logged and DOS has no information on our P4 being sent out. only thing i got done was my vacs and booked a Medical date. woo...	yourcdnangel	Female	Canada	2010-09-07 13:46:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	it does help, thanks a ton!!	yourcdnangel	Female	Canada	2010-09-03 07:45:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	grats on the smooth trip over the US UK. glad to hear the wee ones are settling in well. i can't find the list for age appropriate needles that are required to update our vaccination records. would anyone happen to know which are required for those who are 30-40yrs of age?	yourcdnangel	Female	Canada	2010-09-02 16:04:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	that's ridiculous. Paul and Van, you guys sent in more then Joe and I did and ours went through fine. seems like someone on the USCIS end dropped the ball. but either way, whatever their request is likely something very small and fixable. being that it's the last of the february petitions, it will get pushed through upon return. don't let this stupidity rain on your parade. keep your chin up and we'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers hoping the rest of your process goes MUCH smoother. on a side note, i'm wondering if there are any other military couples out there going through this process. Joe has just received orders to report to a different state (Dec 10 2010) and i'm wondering how that might affect our petition process.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	Ok,Joe just called DOS and they told him our p3 was logged at the end of July. So we're pretty much a month later in timelines Les. Here's to hoping!	yourcdnangel	Female	Canada	2010-08-16 10:26:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	i just noticed, between your timeline and ours, that it took them 8 days to log your p3. so judging from that time...ours arriving on July 16, Montreal would have logged ours around July 26. That would put Montreal at sending our p4 out by the 1st of Sept (which is the week Joe and I drive back to Toronto - a great homecoming present!). So hopefully we should have our interview for the 3rd week of Oct (fingers crossed!). i just hope we have the same luck as you two!!	yourcdnangel	Female	Canada	2010-08-14 17:17:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	thanks girl! you will be very soon, i just know it! did you find out if your p3 was logged in? Joe is going to call the DOS on Monday from work and see what's up. Hopefully it's been logged and it's just a matter of waiting our 40+ days for our interview date.	yourcdnangel	Female	Canada	2010-08-14 16:47:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	WE GOT AN INTERVIEW DATE!!! SEPT 24TH!!!!!!!!!!!! Grats Les!! I have some hope we might actually get ours soon after...maybe, or I hope so!! Hehe. But *jumps up and down cheering for Les and Scott*. I'm SO happy for you both!!!!	yourcdnangel	Female	Canada	2010-08-14 08:06:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	*yawns and stretches* well it's been awhile. i lost or well, forgot my login/pw. hope all is well. still nothing signifying that our P3 has been rec'd/logged. we sent it out July 12th and it should have been received by July 14th. it's not nearly a month later with no word. i hate that Montreal takes forever to get stuff done. it's ridiculous how difficult they make it for Canadians. *sigh* Paul and Van, i'm glad someone is finally stepping in to take ownership of the disaster that is your case file. i can only try to imagine how frustrated you both are. anyhoos, that's our update :/ take care for now everyone *fingers crossed for everyone here* Edited by yourcdnangel, 08 August 2010 - 12:21 AM.	yourcdnangel	Female	Canada	2010-08-08 00:20:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	I swear they hate Canada! Is it because we are so close? Or because we are the least of their threats on this planet? LOL! I'ma go with both. *keeps her fingers crossed for Van* GO CANADA! Oh and I know Princess won't see this until she's back, but hope things went well in London!!	yourcdnangel	Female	Canada	2010-06-21 23:03:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! IT GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE TO FINALLY ANNOUNCE..! OUR PETITION HAS BEEN APPROVED! 126 DAYS OF HELL AND WORRY AND WAIT IS FINALLY OVER! I just came back from a day out shopping with my Mom and I heard the text and thought "it's probably my friend," even though when I get a text at this time of day I always HOPE it will be the government. The ONE DAY I thought for sure we would not get approved AND WE FINALLY ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought I'd never be able to type this. Thank you SO much to EVERYONE who has helped and supported me! I will continue to stand by those who are still awaiting the joy that I have just received. Thank you for the midget, poacher, he did some good! Time to pass it off to yourcdnangel, O&C, and anyone else still on the waiting list! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! YAY!! That's so awesome. Ok...126 days...and we're just over 100 here. Touches the midget for good luck!!	yourcdnangel	Female	Canada	2010-06-05 00:37:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	It's been 125 days for us.. pbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbth. *blows raspberries* They're so slowwww. Neither of us have a criminal record, have been previously married, there is nothing holding them back. Just laziness. ya, i'm a high ranking police officers daughter and Joe is in the US Army. so needless to say our background checks are spotless. while he has been previously married, a certified and stamped copy of his decree was also in our original packet. so really, it would have been a "lets read their story. ok looks legit." and pass it along sort of deal. i just don't get the hold up. *keeps fingers crossed not only for herself but the other Feb stragglers that VSC has seemingly forgotten*	yourcdnangel	Female	Canada	2010-06-03 18:18:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	we got ours in 82 days, but having said that theres still afew others here that havent got their NOA2s back yet either, at least you know your not on your own but I guess that isnt much help. You could always get in touch with your local Congressmans office. Thats what we did and afew others here. They can at least find out for you where you are, give you piece of mind that your actually there and they havent forgot about you.......maybe all your files are together in a ....dum dum dummmm "box" and they havent picked that one up till last????? Just a thought/idea...but Id maybe get in touch with the congress....fingers crossed for you that it arrives real soon. thanks Princess. i'll have Joe call and see whats what. i know i'd read a few others had done it as well. silly that we actually have to go to that extreme. but it's the gov't, i hadn't expected this to be easy peasy either.	yourcdnangel	Female	Canada	2010-06-03 16:03:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	does anyone know the 'actual' time line VSC is working with. because it has been over 90+days for us and still not a single word, nor touch. not even an RFE request. so, Joe and I are starting to get a little nervous here. any ideas?	yourcdnangel	Female	Canada	2010-06-03 15:35:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	grats to all the latest NOA2 approvals!!! sadly, it's been 92 days for us and not a single touch. we're starting to get worried... i guess if we don't see/hear anything this week, we'll have to send some emails or make some phone calls	yourcdnangel	Female	Canada	2010-05-26 19:27:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	ok, i am starting tom get uneasy here 25th of may will be 90 day's for me since i received my NOA 1, VSC needs to crank it up. the 24th is creeping up on us too and that's when we had our NOA1	yourcdnangel	Female	Canada	2010-05-20 16:54:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	no touch since feb 24. but you're right, no news is good news. we double checked our packet like 20 times before sending it off and sent along the stamp sealed divorce decree for joey. plus pictures of when we were together back in 1994 and pictures of us together now. so i mean, all i can do now is...	yourcdnangel	Female	Canada	2010-05-11 07:41:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	i need to dance or do something, because i keep checking our case file at vsc and it still says feb 24. the date hasn't changed since the first day i logged in to check. wake up vsc!! please search the big mess of files and find ours. don't forget about us!! grats to everyone who is a few weeks ahead of us in line for your approvals!!!	yourcdnangel	Female	Canada	2010-05-10 11:48:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	Crossposting from the Jan K-1 thread: Got the RFE in today! And yes, we missed A SIMPLE YES OR NO QUESTION. Whether or not I've been convicted of a crime/military cirme/etc. I don't know why I must have missed something so stupid, or that I didn't catch it when I looked over the packet a thousand times, but I'm SO GLAD it was just something dumb on my half. I'm sending the response today while it's still early via UPS so it will be in Vermont by MONDAY. I feel so relieved. My fiance is ecstatic, too. I'm feeling a little bashful but oh well. Is that an approval I smell on the way? phew! glad it was a mere missed question and not something they were demanding more from you proof wise. *keeps her fingers crossed that your approval comes very soon*	yourcdnangel	Female	Canada	2010-04-25 16:10:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	I thought our almost 5 years would be enough, too, but VSC is a fickle mistress. I'm sure yours will go smoothly. I'm 99% sure my RFE is a missed signature or something equally dumb like that, because if they honestly have the audacity to ask for more evidence that we've been in the same place at the same time while I sent them pictures and visa evidence of us being in: New Jersey, Washington DC, Denmark, England, and more.. they've got another thing coming. i sincerely hope it's something that minor. it's just a shame that it puts a delay on things. i hope you're able to clear it up quickly *keeps fingers crossed*	yourcdnangel	Female	Canada	2010-04-23 22:22:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	joey freaks out every time someone seems to get their NOA2. sends me texts or calls me. the day before yesterday, he came home from work and nearly ran into the apt to tell me the poor girl had gotten an RFE. my heart sank. i hope being that we've a history of 17yrs...will see our case through smoothly enough *keeps fingers crossed for everyone*	yourcdnangel	Female	Canada	2010-04-23 16:16:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	hahah omg. i just told joey "baby, look...someone's already had their february approval for nvc!!" then i was like, "oh..."	yourcdnangel	Female	Canada	2010-04-08 06:58:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	aww S and T, that's pretty crummy that you can't stay longer then 30 days. i'm grateful i'm from canada. joey drove 8hrs to come pick me up, we drove 8hrs back together. now i'm camping out at his house for the duration until our NOA2 comes up. it's made the wait far more bearable then had i'd stayed at my parents place in ontario. it was hard enough to leave him after our visit in january. so admittedly, i feel spoiled compared to some of our group. having to wait, separated and stuff. in truth i feel horrible but very lucky. i've heard they've started the february petitions. so gonna keep my fingers crossed for everyone in our tiny group that they really start to hammer them out. there's also rumours flying around in the US that the govt is trying to pass a bill to abolish the borders in north america. meaning citizens of Canada and Mexico can move to the US legitimately. anyone doing a north american move heard about this??	yourcdnangel	Female	Canada	2010-04-06 07:34:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	No Visa touches for me since Feb. 16th. But I have gotten fiance touches! Whoo Hoo!! hahaha, well that's the most important kind	yourcdnangel	Female	Canada	2010-04-05 12:36:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	this is all i get when i check my case file number. so no touches i guess. On February 24, 2010, we received this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E), and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case. Please follow any instructions on this notice. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	how are we checking "touches"?? every time i go to the uscis page and enter in our number, it just says the same ####### over and over again.	yourcdnangel	Female	Canada	2010-04-04 18:02:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	While we're waiting for the NOA2, is anybody preparing things like police certificates, etc? I've already sent away for and received my extended birth certificate. For the past 32yrs I've only ever had the small wallet-sized one. So got that. When I get back from my visit, I'll walk down to the Police station up the street and meet with some of my old College buddies that work there and get my CPIC record printed. I've already had a pre-medical with my family doctor and all looks good. Waiting for my teter tests to come back. Joey hasn't begun the affidavit or 2nd letter of intent yet, as by the looks of it we still have another 2mths to go before we even hear back from NOA2. I have a list of what to expect for packet 3, so it's just a matter of printing it out and sending it back to Montreal. Right now, we're just preparing to have Easter Weekend with his family in Jersey. It'll be nice to see his parents again (they love me more then him I think >.<), but we're surprising them. They don't know I'm down visiting again hehe	yourcdnangel	Female	Canada	2010-04-01 17:22:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers -- I-129F -- VSC	I used to be a Front Desk rep at a large hotel chain, but I recently quit my job so that I could free up enough time to travel back and forth to visit Joey in the US. I've moved home with my parents to stay with them and put in as much time as I can before coming to the US permanently. Given that we cannot travel for our first year here, unless we submit forms to release us for travel. Right now, I'm at Joey's place in Maryland, visiting for a few weeks, maybe longer. It's helping us pass the time between NOA1 and NOA2 which we hope to hear back from in the next month or so.	yourcdnangel	Female	Canada	2010-03-28 12:56:00
