a touch can mean anything from a clerk moving your paper work from one shelf to the other to an adjudicator reviewing your case. in my case, i got my NOA2 3 days after I got my first touch on the website. what interests me is that according to UCSIC website, my case is still pending which evidences that the status on the website is not that reliable.

We all know that touches mean little if anything, but we were touched today after no visible action since early January when our I-130 was logged in, and we felt the little high you get whenever you have a positive surprise !! It was fun, and of course we are making up all sorts of positive stories about what might be happening. Silly us, but it is a nice feeling !!

True, dont bother yourself about 'touches'. I didnt get any touch during my USCIS process either, just got the NOA2 after 5 months.

Good luck.
