Your USCIS case, explained
Where to find your receipt number
USCIS gives every application a 13-character receipt number: three letters and ten digits, such as IOE0123456789. It is printed near the top left of the receipt notice (Form I-797C), labeled "Receipt Number", and it is in your USCIS online account if you filed online. The letters say where the case is handled: IOE for a case filed online, and EAC, WAC, LIN, SRC, MSC, NBC or YSC for the service centers and processing offices.
What your status means
The status is the one line USCIS shows for a case, and it changes only when something happens: the case is received, fingerprints are taken, an officer starts the review, USCIS asks for more evidence, an interview is scheduled, or a decision is made. A status that has not changed in months usually means the case is waiting its turn, not that something is wrong.
How long it should take
USCIS publishes how long each form takes at each office. Once your case has waited longer than that, you can send USCIS a case inquiry. If your case depends on a priority date, as most family and employment green cards do, the Visa Bulletin decides when you can move ahead, and it changes every month.

Questions people ask
Is ImmigraMate part of USCIS?
No. ImmigraMate is an independent service from Trovyn Tech LLC. The status you see comes from USCIS, and filing, paying or changing anything on a case is done with USCIS itself.
Do I need an account to check my case?
No. Type your receipt number and the status shows here, free. A free account keeps your cases in one list and lets you know when one of them changes.
Why has my status not changed?
USCIS updates a status only when an action is taken on the case, so long gaps between updates are normal, especially during review. Compare the date on your receipt notice with the processing time for your form and office to see whether your case is still within the usual range.
USCIS does not recognize my receipt number. What now?
Check that it has all 13 characters, with no spaces or dashes, and that no letter was read as a number (O and 0, I and 1). A new receipt can take a few days to appear online after USCIS sends the notice.
Can ImmigraMate speed up my case?
No. Nobody outside USCIS can change how fast a case moves. If your case is outside the normal processing time, you can send USCIS a case inquiry, and in some urgent situations you can ask USCIS to expedite it.

Extending an H-1B or other work visa? USCIS wants a fresh look every time
A proposed rule would let USCIS stop relying on its earlier approval when you extend an H-1B, L-1, O-1 or other worker visa, even if nothing has changed. It is not in effect yet, and you can comment until November 13. Here's what it would mean and what to do now.
