A. Service Center Filings
- For petitions and applications filed at one of the five
USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services)
Service Centers, you will need your receipt number. The
receipt number typically begins with EAC (Vermont Service
Center), LIN (Nebraska Service Center), WAC (California
Service Center), SRC (Texas Service Center) or MSC (Missouri
Service Center).
If you have this number, click
here to visit the USCIS case status login section, and
follow the instructions. If you do not have this number,
please contact
us for assistance.
To track and receive an email

**PREMIUM PROCESSING CASES
- For premium process filings, the
processing times will not be indicated at any of the links
above. US law requires that the premium units adjudicate
cases and take action on the same within 15 days of a receipt
number being issued on a case. This does not mean that a
case has to be approved within 15 days, but merely adjudicated.
For example, an Officer's action may be to request evidence
on a case within the 15 day period. That request for evidence,
satisfies "taking action on a case," within the
15 day time period. After a response to the Officer's request
for evidence has been received by US CIS, the Officer again
will be required to take action within a 15 day time period,
which will begin to run from the date the evidence has been
logged as received. At this point, an Officer will usually
approve or deny a case. In rare occasions, he/she may request
additional evidence, which again, will be handled as specified
above.
C. District/Local Office Filings

and not at any of the service centers listed above, please

processing time of your case.
If your receipt number begins MSC, please click

If your receipt number does not begin with MSC, you may

D. Approved Immigrant Petitions
Requiring Consular Processing – If you are
to receive your immigrant visa abroad, have an approved
immigrant petition, and an available visa has been accorded
to your case, processing of the same will initially take
place at the National Visa Center, and then be forwarded
to the appropriate US Consulate abroad for final processing.
To determine the status of your case, please have your receipt
number available which will begin with NVC, and call +1(603)334-0700,
and follow instructions accordingly.
