Hi all,

I keep seeing alot of folks saying that they have been "touched" and I know that this has to do with USCIS in some manner. What does this mean exactly and how can you tell if you have been "touched" - what does it say exactly to let you know that you have been touched?

Welcome! Best of luck on your Journey! :thumbs:

You've probably seen the thread that Mew gave you. Basically if you go on USCIS.gov and set up a portfilio there, you can check on your updated status. Just a run down of how to get there:

~hop on uscis.gov

~click on "case status and processing dates" under Hot Topics on the right side of the page

~If you've set up a Case Status Portfolio, on the left side of the page, click Login. If you don't have a portfolio set you you can by clicking on "register" or towards the bottom of the page you can create a customer portfolio

~If you have a case status portfolio, simply log in, and you'll see several headings:

--Receipt Number/Email/Last Updated/Form#/Form Title

~Take a look at the Last Updated column. From what I heard, everytime USCIS handles your application/petition, the scan, I'm guessing a barcode which will update the date on said column. Everyone says this is how you know you've been touched.

Now given that, for everyone else reading this, if I've misspoken, please feel free to correct me. Good luck and welcome to VJ!
