Check your immigration case status

Online: 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.

Check your immigration case status

By phone: If you are calling from the U.S., contact the USCIS Contact 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.

If you applied for a visa, you can check your application status in the U.S. Department of State's Visa Status Check portal. To do so, select the type of visa you applied for (immigrant or nonimmigrant) and enter your case number.

Check immigration case processing times

Even if you have not filed an application with USCIS, you can still find out how long processing may take by using USCIS’ case processing time tool. When you use the tool, you will need to select:

• The form and form category you have filed or intend to file
• The USCIS office handling your case
