Ok all i have updated my signature, it was touched again today so that is 4 touches in 5 days......

it is always the 129F that is touched, not the 130; is this ok......

i have read a lot on these boards about being approved and the status does not change on CRIS.... so not sure.... if i should call USCIS.

i have never called them before; i know it does not hurt but they don't seem to have much information.

Also if i have an approval, should the 130 be touched and approved also, because i notice this is how it happens that the 129 gets approved and the 130 does too.

Any advice on what i should do, call or should i just sit tight and wait.

Any advice would be appriciated......;

i am more stunned than actually excited..... is'nt that strange......

Shiv, of wat I gathered so far, I guess you should call and not enter your case number when prompted so you will be directed to a real person. Then ask him if you got an RFE, tell him you are asking because you got touched several times last week. People previously said that they were told they were approved when they did that...Good luck dude, and please update your time line, if you got approved.
