It doesn't necessarily mean anything. It could mean that someone is looking at your case or it could just mean that it was moved somewhere, handed to someone else, looked at but only momentarily, etc.

You can tell if you've been touched by logging in to the case status portion of the USCIS website. If that date listed there for your petition has changed then your case has been touched.

Don't worry if you haven't been "touched" though. My case status hasn't been updated since it was first entered and I was approved months ago.

Your case/file is assigned a bar-code. Whenever the bar-code is read/wanded a log entry is made - if you have a portfolio created on USCIS's site - a field entry called "Last Updated" is visible - any time your bar-code is read - this date will change and that is what we call a touch.

Touches don't really mean much - they could simply be moving the file, counting it - or any other number of things, including reviewing it for adjudication. It is nice to see and know your file is still in existence though.
