People with pending immigration proceedings can access the USCIS online case status platform. For this, it is necessary to have at hand the unique case number that consists of 13 characters, three letters such as: EAC, WAC, LIN, SRC, NBC, MSC or IOE; and ten numbers
Also known as a receipt number, it is a unique 13-character identifier that USCIS assigns to each application and petition, which is also key to identifying and tracking each case. The first three characters of this number are letters that signify the type of application, petition, or request.
You can consult the USCIS tool at the following link: https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/ landing.do. When entering your number, skip the use of hyphens “-“. You can include asterisks “*”, in case they are part of your receipt number.
