When you file something with USCIS (immigration services), you get a receipt notice with a unique code. This code, called a receipt number, is your key to tracking your case status!

This number (usually a mix of letters and numbers) is on your receipt notice, typically at the top. Think of it as a magic code that lets you:

• Check your case status online

• Get updates on processing

• Talk to USCIS about your case

Hold onto that receipt notice! You'll need that number whenever you want to see how your case is moving along.
