Many visa applicants and applicants for other immigration benefits can now check their case status on the internet.
In order to use this system, applicants must have a receipt number for a petition or application filed at a BCIS Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (formerly INS) Service Center.
Applicants without a receipt number must call the BCIS National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283 or visit a local BCIS (formerly INS) branch office to obtain information about their case.
How to use the Case Status online system:
- Go to: https://egov.immigration.gov/graphics/cris/jsps/index.jsp
- Click on: Case Status Online
- Enter your 13-character application receipt # listed on your visa petition or application receipt. Omit any dashes in this number.
- Press "Enter".
The most recent BCIS (formerly INS) action on your application will appear.
