a touch is the term we use for when they last updated your case. usually if they have to touch literally your file for what ever reason they have to put its number in to the system and so online you will get a last updated date, it wont say what was done just that it was updated last on the date so we refer to them as touches. some get a couple or more and others get none till they are approved. did you register your account with the uscis website because you will need to do that so see when you were last "touched"

Mawin Mrs. Walker;

Some people NEVER get a touch...then they're approved. So, don't read too much into it. One more thing, if you keep checking that website, you're going to make yourself crazy. Took me a while to catch on, but then I learned to let go, it got a little easier. If you want to keep focus and keep thing off your mind a bit, come over to the yardie thread. They saved me from pulling out all my eyelashes and they'll tell you, it was not an easy job.
