Staying informed about your immigration case status is crucial for peace of mind and proper planning. Here's a comprehensive guide to using the USCIS online portal to track your application.
If you have questions about your case or next steps, schedule a consultation with one of our experienced Atlanta immigration attorneys for a thorough review and a personalized action plan!
Accessing the Online Portal
You can check your case status via the free USCIS online portal at https://egov.uscis.gov/. You'll need the 13-character receipt number found on your receipt notice to access your information. Remember that each application has a unique receipt number, so you must track each matter separately.
What You Can Track
Once logged in, the portal provides access to:
Your current case status
Complete case history with milestones and updates
Estimated processing times
Next steps in your process when applicable
Understanding Case Statuses
The most common status updates you might see include:
Received: USCIS has received your application.
Processing: Your application is under review.
Interview Scheduled: An interview date has been set.
Approved: Your application has been approved.
Denied: Your application has been denied.
Transferred: Your case has moved to another office.
Essential Tips for Case Status Checking
Always ensure you're entering your receipt number correctly. Remember that not all cases are available for online tracking; thus, in some cases, you may need to contact USCIS directly. If you notice any discrepancies in your case status or receive a denial, it's essential to consult with an immigration attorney about your next steps.
