How to Find Immigration Status
You can find your immigration status online at the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website. You'll have to provide your 13-character application receipt number from USCIS correspondence. There are different types of receipt numbers based on the type of immigration benefit an individual has applied for. But the website tools will help you gauge the length of your immigration process.
