Case Status Tracking

Track Your USCIS Case Status

Automated daily checks and email alerts when we detect status changes—using USCIS Case Status API access. Always verify important updates with official USCIS notices.

How It Works

Three Steps to Peace of Mind

Set it up once, stay informed forever.

01

Enter Your Receipt Number

Add your I-765 receipt number (starts with IOE, EAC, WAC, etc.) — it takes 10 seconds.

02

We Check Case Status Daily

TrackMyOPT retrieves case-status information using USCIS Case Status API access and compares results to your previous check.

03

Get Email & Browser Alerts

When we detect a status change, Pro users can get email plus browser push with a plain-English explanation (timing may vary).

Plain English

USCIS Jargon, Translated

USCIS status messages read like they were written by robots. We translate every update into clear, actionable language so you know exactly what's happening and what to do next.
