How can I track the status of my L-1 petition?

The most direct way to track your L-1 petition is through the official Case Status Online tool on the USCIS website. With the receipt number you receive when the petition is accepted, you can check which stage your case is at and follow any updates.

That receipt number is your unique identifier. Keep it in a safe place, because it is what grants access to your case progress for anyone authorized to follow it, such as your attorney or sponsoring employer.

• Use Case Status Online on the USCIS website with your receipt number.
• Check case stages and update messages directly from the official source.
• Keep your receipt number and avoid unofficial third-party websites.

If the status is unclear or a question arises, you can contact USCIS through its official support channels or consult your attorney. Be wary of services that promise to expedite or guarantee results, and always seek guidance from the official USCIS sources.
