Where can I check my immigration visa status?

How to Check Your Immigration Visa Status

If you have applied for an immigration visa, you may be wondering how to check your status. There are two ways to do this: online or by phone.

Online

To check your status online, you will need your 13-character receipt number. This number was assigned to you when you filed your application. You can find it on your Form I-797, Notice of Action.

Once you have your receipt number, you can go to the USCIS website and click on the "Check My Case Status" link. You will be prompted to enter your receipt number and some other information. Once you have entered all of the required information, click on the "Search" button.

The website will then display your case status. This information will include the date your application was received, the current status of your application, and any other relevant information.

Phone

You can also check your immigration visa status by phone. To do this, call the USCIS Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283 (or TTY 1-800-767-1833) from within the United States. You will be asked to provide your receipt number and some other information. Once you have provided all of the required information, the customer service representative will be able to give you your case status.

Additional Information

It is important to note that the USCIS website and the USCIS Contact Center are only updated once a day. This means that if you check your status online or by phone, you may not see the most up-to-date information. If you are concerned about your case status, you should contact the USCIS directly.

You can also track your case status through the myUSCIS online account. To create an account, you will need to provide your receipt number and some other information. Once you have created an account, you can log in to view your case status, receive email updates, and more.
