I've been frequenting this forum for a while now (only joined a month ago though) and I'm 95% sure of this whole process (I wont say 100% as few questions pop into my head every now and again!) but the one thing that really stumps me is this constant "Touched" thingymabobby in people's timelines. As someone who hasn't yet started the process (May, here we come!) I really just want to bloody know :P I'm guessing it has something to do with checking the process online or something?

I know, I know, pointless question, but I hate not knowing the answers to things :)

Not pointless..

Touched means your file has been handled.. Its bar-code has been 'wanded.' When this happens your Date Last Processed changes on the USCIS website. Each time the date changes is a Touch. Touches may or may not 'mean anything' as some people only get touched once, while others multiple times. :)

Good luck with getting your package off and getting the process started. Best wishes for a speedy approval.

You need to sign up for the USCIS Case Status Service and then you will get informed of "touches" whenever they work on your case.

I hope it'll be speedy too but we're not filing at the Vermont centre unfortunately :P
