When it comes to navigating the immigration process, staying informed about the status of your case is crucial. Knowing the progress of your immigration application allows you to plan ahead, stay updated, and be prepared for the next steps.
If you filed an immigration application or petition with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), you can check the progress of your case online or by phone.
How to do that?
Upon submitting your immigration application, you will receive a receipt number. This number serves as your key to tracking the status of your case. Visit the official website of the immigration authority responsible for processing your application (such as USCIS for U.S. immigration) and locate the tracking or case status section. Enter your receipt number as instructed to access the latest information on your case.
If you encounter any difficulties with online tracking or require further clarification on your case’s status, you can directly contact the immigration authorities. Look for the contact information on their official website and reach out to the designated support channels. Be prepared to provide your case details, receipt number, and any relevant information for faster assistance.
Note: The case status checking process may vary depending on the country and immigration authority. It’s essential to refer to the official website of the respective immigration authority and follow their instructions for tracking the status of your immigration case.
Use the case status online tool to check for updates about your immigration case. You will need your 13-character receipt number from your application or petition.
By phone: If you are calling from the U.S., contact the USCIS National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283 or TTY 1-800-767-1833. If you are outside the U.S., call 212-620-3418 or contact a USCIS international field office.
