How can I find out the status of my paperwork with USCIS?

1. Check your receipt notice first. USCIS receipt notices typically include an estimated processing time for your application type. Wait until that window has passed before taking further action. If you have a life-or-death emergency related to your case in the meantime, contact my office immediately.

1. If processing time has passed, contact my office. My staff can submit a congressional inquiry to USCIS on your behalf, help identify any issues with your application, and confirm it is actively being processed.

1. The USCIS website is also a helpful resource for general questions about forms, fees, office locations, and standard immigration procedures. You can also reach the USCIS automated information line 24/7 at 1-800-767-1833.

Please note: Due to federal privacy laws, I will need your written permission before my office can assist with your case. Please complete my casework form to get started.
