H1B Tracker: Monitor Your Application Status

Tracking your H1B application is essential for staying informed about your visa status. This guide explains how to use the USCIS H1B tracker, understand status updates, and know when to take action.

How to Track Your H1B Application

Your employer files the H1B petition with USCIS. You'll receive a receipt notice (Form I-797) with your case number. Use this number to track your application status online at uscis.gov/case-status.

Understanding H1B Status Codes

• Case Received: USCIS has accepted your petition and assigned a case number
• Case Under Review: USCIS is actively reviewing your application
• Request for Evidence: Additional documentation is needed
• Case Approved: Your H1B petition has been approved
• Case Denied: Your petition was denied with explanation

Tracking Timeline Expectations

From filing to decision typically takes 4-6 months. Set up email or SMS notifications through USCIS to receive status updates automatically.
