Yes, you can reach USCIS to get general information and check the status of your case, including an EB-1 petition. The agency offers official support channels that provide details on procedures, forms, and the recorded status of your case.

It is important to understand the limits of this contact. The support team conveys what is on file in their systems and explains process steps, but does not provide legal advice or a personalized assessment of your eligibility. Questions about strategy or the strength of your evidence are not addressed through this channel.

For more complex EB-1 matters, a different approach is needed:

  • Use official USCIS channels for status updates and procedural information.
  • Consult an attorney or specialist for an analysis of your specific case.
  • Be cautious of sources that promise guaranteed outcomes.

This way you combine official information with genuine technical guidance. For always up-to-date details, consult the USCIS website and official channels directly.
