How can I track the status of my EB-2 NIW case?

The safest way to track your EB-2 NIW case is through the official USCIS channels. Once your petition is filed, you will receive a receipt number, which is the key to accessing online case tracking.

With that number in hand, you have a few options:

• Check the online case status tool on the official USCIS website.
• Create a USCIS online account, which centralizes your case progress and allows you to receive update alerts.
• Watch for official correspondence, including any requests for additional documentation, and respond within the indicated timeframe.

Avoid relying on unofficial channels or on tracking promises from third parties who are not your legal representative. For guidance on each step and on how to respond to requests, consult the USCIS website or a trusted immigration professional.
