Get the Phone App and stay off the phone to NVC/USCIS

[Greenbaum 12,259]

Follow your case with two new tools.

The phone app is a much easier way of getting answers to "where is my visa/paperwork/response" then spending time calling day after day and wasting so much time. Get the app here and it's free to use or upgrade for a small fee and get instant text messages when your case status has changed.

Also, available is myUSCIS, where from online you can get current updates to every single document (case) that you submit. From the visa initial filing, NOA2, AOS, Adjusting AOS and Naturalization. Even change your address or place an inquiry from. Get more information here.

Good luck to all.

AND.... I would appreciate any feedback on your experience with these tools. Do they work as advertised? Was it easy to use? Is the information timely? Anything you want to say would help.

Figured I'd be the first to ask; ETA for iPhone app?

EDIT: Never mind. I searched the Apple app store and it seems to be there (If its your app and not a competitor )

I have been using the iPhone USCIS case tracker app since our NOA1 receipt. The app alerted me to our approval before I received the text message or email. It is simple to use. If you have notifications turned on you will be notified for any update to your case and any USCIS bulletins.

Wish there was a similar app for NVC and USEM tracking.

It works 100% as promised.. It notifies you every activity they make with your case, just make sure you turn on the push notification on that app.. I did not receive any text or email from uscis as we were approved for k1 visa just last night. It was when i check the app that i knew we are approved

I'm glad you found it. Give it a go and come back and add your comments. Always interested if something that is recommend is working as advertised. BTW, I am not associated nor do I own any rights to these two applications. I am only trying to help others and make there journey smooth.

There is and it's called myUCIS but it is not a phone app but a web page. Details below in my signature.

I am registered on myUSCIS and I can see all of the activity from USCIS however it has no info about the MNL#, NVC or USEM progress.

Am I missing something?

I never used it as it is recently new. It looks to me that if you have a receipt number then you can see the activity connected to the processing. But, here in lies the problem. The receipt number is only issued with a NOA and at that time, you already know the outcome. Strange. I'd like to hear from others on how they are using it. It could be a piece of junk. We'll have to wait and see. Some of the other features I think can come in handy, like emailing NVC or changing an address. etc.

There is another app called case buddy but case tracker is better for notifications. The myUSCIS case status update is good but often

does not update everything and some people find the EAD/AP combo card in the mail without all the updates.
Case tracker notified us before myUSCIS did.

sure you can..

Case Tracker has a lot to offer too.. it has tabs for up to date Visa Bulletin, USCIS News, Processing Time, and other resources like, USCIS offce locator, Civil surgeon locator and trackitt forum..

this is very impressive app.. and is connected to USCIS website so you can guarantee the authenticity..

Thanks, that's good to know. I think maybe myUSCIS has more fluff then substance. Time will tell. Thanks for your input.

I downloaded this app to my iPhone this morning and I was impressed! The feature that I am in love with is the search feature:

Add a receipt number (yours or a random number) as the starting receipt then

Add '500' to the count field and press search

You can now see the status of 500 receipts therefore giving you an idea of what is happening around you. You can even slice and dice by AOS, ED etc and there is even a nice wee graphical chart showing rejected, RFE, approved or 'other'...

I have no link to this app other than as a happy punter!

Just wondering.. I checked our status on the USCIS app, press the search button, and typed in the receipt number before ours and did 10 counts. I noticed that the receipt number before ours were seen by uscis, as well as the receipt numbers after ours. (Which most of themare approved already). Our status just says "Case was received" im confused if they skipped our petition or what. Got any thoughts on this?

Greenback your website is not too user friendly with tablets. I'm using a Samsung 12.2 pro and the sides are off screen. Can it be fixed?
