Twice in one day?

[JoeCanuk 3]

I got two emails from them. One in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Touches do not generate e-mails... the message about the current status does...

He has a valid point, Joe. Check what the emails say, specifically, as touches do not generate emails.

He may have a valid point but I don't understand it. I thought touches generated emails. If they don't, what is the purpose of the email? It's just those "update" emails from USCIS and whenever I went to check the online status, it hadn't changed since Dec. 18. I don't get it.

Touches mean the date changed on your file, nothing more. If you received an email - the verbiage also changed. It is not uncommonn to get multiple emails same day saying the same thing. What would be odd is if both your emails state different verbiage.

Well, I got two the other day that said the same thing. Just that my case had been updated. But nothing changed on the status page. Yesterday I got two emails again. One from that CRIS thing that I asked about and later in the day, another one from USCIS saying the case had been updated. I can understand that but why the two from USCIS on the same day with no change in the status? Confusing stuff. Why are there update emails if the case hasn't been touched?
