It means.... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Well, a bit more than that. It means that someone, somewhere scanned your file, moved the box from one desk to another, etc. Bottom line is, for you it has absolutely no impact on your case.

thanx but I dont understand why it means NOTHING ?

PLEASE EXPLAIN

It means exactly what I just said. Someone moved your file from desk to desk, from office to office. Someone scanned the box your file was in, removed the dust and put it back in the storage area. We never know. Noone ever knows besides the USCIS staff.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but under no circumstances should you assume that because of the update, someone will adjudicate your case within X days

Those mysterious touches as they're called could mean something, or they could mean nothing. What they mean is that someone, somewhere scanned your file. This could mean it was moved from one box to another, or it could mean that someone moved it from one desk to another. It could also mean that someone actually picked it up and worked on it. There's absolutely no way of telling. To give you a bit of hope though, the fact that it's been laying around in a storage box since January, and someone now picked it up, I could only speculate that your NOA2 (or RFE) will come in not too long. Cases have a tendency to get "touched" a little bit before approval.

If I were to speculate, a wild guesstimation could be that someone picked it up along with 70 other files, and moved it to their desk, later to work on it.

Again, this is pure speculation and (somewhat) educated guessing.

All in all, it's not a bad sign. And it could be a good sign.

I take it you did not use your Receipt No. to do the checking: you only checked by signing into your account. I don't know if you are aware: signing into your account will only tell you the date your file was touched, but if you use your NOA1 Receipt Number, you will know if your petition is still in Initial Review or otherwise. Good luck.
