How can I check on the status of my visa or waiver application?

If you e-filed an application or petition and have your receipt number, or filed an application with a USCIS Service Center and have a receipt. Please have your receipt number ready. The service center receipts have three letters and ten numbers.

You can find the status of your case through Case Status Service Online, also available en Español.
