Each petition that is submitted to USCIS is given a bar code. The bar is scanned everytime the petition is handled. For example, if a petition is received and passed on to someone else to file, the bar code is scanned. This helps track the petition and lets the adjudicators know where each petition is and who handled it last

So a 'touch' is your 'last updated' date on the USCIS website. A 'touch' could mean your petition was moved, counted, placed on an adjudicators desk, or moved from filing cabinet A to cabinet B due to a leaky pipe

Good luck
