Immigration clients often call in for their immigration case statuses, wondering if an attorney has more insight into their USCIS case processing than they do. The truth is that most of the time when they call us, we check their status online.
Back in the day, we would have to make a note of it, call a 1-800 customer service number, hold for an hour or two, and then call our client back with an update. Today, we can check our client’s USCIS application or petition status while on the phone with them.
We do this so often, we thought we would create a tutorial for those of you who are unfamiliar with the USCIS online status check:
Try it out and tell us what you think!
Now, if your case is well-beyond the USCIS processing times and it still shows an old status (“pending”), then we would send an inquiry on behalf of our client. Case inquiries used to have to be done by email (they still can be done by email), but now USCIS has created a form submission website for convenience. Click here to see how USCIS allows you to inquire online.
