How Can I Check My Immigration Status?

If you are waiting for an immigration application to be processed, it is important that you know how to check your status. The process can be a bit complicated, but there are ways to get the information you need.

If you are in the United States, you can use USCIS’s online case status tracker to see what’s happening with your application. You can also call USCIS, email them, or visit the service center in person to get the information you need.

Whether you’re applying for an employment based green card or a family based green card, it’s common to have to wait weeks or months after submitting your paperwork. This can be extremely stressful, and is especially true in the early stages of the application process.

Fortunately, there are several ways to check your immigration status online. This is a quick and efficient way to monitor the stage of your case, calculate processing times for different USCIS service centers, as well as assess the likelihood of getting an adjudication on your immigration petition. In order to access this service, you’ll need a receipt number, which is a 13-character identifier found on any application notice that you receive from the USCIS.

Alternatively, you can check your status in person by visiting a local USCIS service center or U.S. embassy or consulate, though this can be more difficult. It’s always a good idea to bring your receipt number, so that the officer can verify that you actually submitted your paperwork. You’ll also want to bring any other materials that may be relevant to your case.
