Full Version: What is a touch???
I have a dumb question. What does it mean when somebody says there case was touched? I filed an I-129F for my fiance and I received my first NOA on April 9th 2007. When does everyone think I will receive my second NOA? Thanks for your time. This website is great!

Your file has a barcode on it and everytime someone at the Service Center handles your case, it is barcoded...that is what we call touched. So if it is touched, it just means someone is handling your file, the sucky part about that is we don't know what they are doing to it...we just HOPE for good news soon after.
If you go to this link and register as an applicant, you can keep track of your touches.

Good Luck on your journey.

I'll give you a scenario of a "touch" procedure.
USCIS Guy 1: Sam
USCIS Guy 2: Ben
[Setting: USCIS office]
Ben: Hey, Sam.
Sam: Yeah?
Ben: Do me a favor and touch that file on the desk right next to you.
Sam: Which one?
Ben: The one that's collecting all that dust.
Sam: Why?
Ben: I need to update the status. Show some progress online.
Sam: So just touch it?
Ben: Yeah, just go ahead and touch it for a sec.
Sam: Alright.
Ben: Thanks, I owe you one.
[Sam touches the file, Ben updates the status, and we wait another 3 weeks. The End]
