Hey Sau..

Good Luck on your touches... hopefully you are on ur way to NOA2(approval)...

As far as your question about - not getting emails when your case is touched - is concerned, as far as I know, I DONT think "updates" or "touches" on your CRIS portfolio generates any emails. Emails are generated when there is some kind of update on your case. For example, a case being sent to a different service center or somone's pending status changing to approved etc. But your petition getting touched is also a pretty good thing since that means someone @ USCIS is working on your case and you may expect something real soon... Well maybe...I m not saying that you sure will.. but usually a touch is a pretty good sign as I m sure even you are aware of it.. so keep your fingers crossed.. I did mine :)

As far as your questions about whats after your case gets approved, please refer to guides above. They will tell you pretty much everything you need to know or follow about whats coming.

Hope this helps. Have a great weekend and good luck again... :thumbs:

REgards,
