Immigration Case Status Reports
When your application or petition is filed, USCIS will process your case in the
order received by application type to be fair to all applicants. You
can receive automated case status information through the USCIS Online Case
Status portal or by contacting the National Customer Service Center.
Clients of the Law Office of D.Ray Mantle benefit from constant updates on case
preparation and having an experienced immigration attorney track and follow up
on their pending applications and petitions.
USCIS Online Case Status
After your application is received by a USCIS Service Center or the National
Benefits Center, USCIS will mail you a receipt notice. The receipt notice will
have all of the important information you need about your case. With your
receipt number, you can check the status of your case online and also register
on the USCIS website for automatic case status updates while your case is being
processed.
USCIS Case Processing Times
USCIS provides monthly updates on case processing targets for each Service
Center and local office. The processing times shown are for applications that
have just been completed, and may not be an accurate reflection of how long a
newly-filed case will take to be processed. If your case was filed prior to the
date listed on the most recent processing report and you have not received a
response from USCIS, contact
our office to learn more about expediting your case.
USCIS InfoPass Appointment Scheduling
InfoPass is a free,
easy and convenient Internet-based system that allows the public to make an
appointment to speak with an Immigration Information Officer. If you or someone
you know has a complex immigration issue that is best handled in person by a
trained immigration officer, InfoPass is for you! Instead of waiting in line—go online!

7 Steps to Reserving an Appointment through
InfoPass
- Select the language you want to use (there are 12 language options).
- Select “Make an Appointment.”
- Type in the zip code where you live (so InfoPass can find the closest office for
your appointment).
- Select the type of appointment that matches best with the kind of inquiry or
problem you have. This step is important.
- Type in your name, date of birth, zip code and telephone number. An e-mail
address is optional. This information will help USCIS identify you when you
arrive for your appointment.
- Choose a date and time for your appointment. If you do not find an available
appointment at a time that is convenient for you, feel free to check the
InfoPass appointment schedule periodically. New appointments are added to the
schedule each business day.
- An appointment notice, showing the time, date and location of your appointment,
will appear on your computer screen. Print a copy of this notice immediately.
Bring this notice with you when you come for your appointment.

Visa Bulletin
The U.S. Department of State (DOS) issues a monthly bulletin on the availability
of immigrant visas. An immigrant visa number is required for each person
immigrating permanently to the United States, either through an Immigrant Visa
application at a U.S. Consulate or through Adjustment of Status with USCIS.
Immigrant visa availability is limited by category and by country of
chargeability (usually the country of birth). Immediate relatives (spouses,
parents and children) of U.S. citizens are granted immigrant visa numbers
without limit, but all other applicants must wait in line for their particular
category and country of chargeability.
