Case Tracker for USCIS & NVC Reviews

by Mikie 636

It is better than what it was, but it is still showing incorrect information as you are looking at cases. Sometimes it shows 10 sometimes it’ll show more sometimes it’ll show less it never gives the correct information on a consistent basis. . I have been trying to work on cases June and July 2022 still horrible in accurate information. Sometimes it shows two cases sometimes it shows 30 sometimes it shows five. extreme inconsistencies in what it shows same problem for the past two months, actually four months still has not been resolved, extremely unhappy with CaseTracker it’s tiring trying to get the correct information when before it used to work now it does not CaseTracker is getting worse every day. Please someone fix it please . is there another app that works with the iPhone that works? CaseTracker has so many inconsistencies in it and it’s been broken for four months with no fix in sight. There must be another app out there that works with the iPhone that works.

CaseTracker is great, and I had it installed because I was tired of refreshing the website every hour of every day. For any 1st generation immigrant the stress and anxiety and frustration of waiting for an update is obvious and overwhelming, and so I installed CaseTracker to stop myself from obsessively refreshing the website. It was great because it notified me of some good updates. However, these past weeks it keeps giving us notifications of taking the quizzes it now offers, while it’s probably a great feature for some, it is irrelevant to me and still every time I see a notification from CaseTracker on my phone I jump to the phone and try to open it, hoping it’s an update on my case. I am not sure what the developers are thinking about the reason of pushing these notifications on us, but it is making me to remove CaseTracker. I don’t have any extra nerve in me to keep thinking I got an update while it’s a feature or something, and to me it’s like the development team or the marketing got lost and forgot the name of CaseTracker and the real users.

by Bahaa Awad

App does not send notifications if there is any update of cases.
Every time I want to check my case, I have to open CaseTracker and refresh it to see updates which is somehow make CaseTracker useless. I can just open USCIS web and enter my case number then get 100% accurate updates.

CaseTracker is only useful to keep record of your case number and updates. Maybe just keep a record of your case somewhere in your app “ex: notes” ….
You get zero notifications no matter if your case status changed.

by LuxuryInc

After recent updates CaseTracker isn’t what it used to be. It sadly went downhill which could be fixed. I used to love seeing the history of each case displaying the date of when the fingerprints were taken to when it go approved and so on, which that feature is now gone. I had to download another app similar to this one to check the history of each case. I don’t mind the fact that after the update everything was reset and had to add each case again but the history feature should be added again.

by Ian2232

I have a bug report to file

When i do a case search for a large range (say 500) and while this is loading you simultaneously go to the list of “my cases” and refresh the cases there can be come inaccurate. The case number is accurate in the list but the date and status. If you open that case the header is correct but in the body details it shows the wrong receipt number and details.

by Ustraveler2010

CaseTracker has always great for my needs.
However, in the last few months, I keep getting notifications of what appears old cases or not my cases since when I open CaseTracker nothing has changed.
I have reported this issue several times and got a "we are working to get this fixed" but it's been a good 3 months now.
I get several "mistaken" updates in a day

by Don09$

Sunday I got notifications that my case was approved and decision was emailed! And After 50mins the status went back to old one and the bars changed to blue! But within the tab you still see the case approved and decision emailed! But on actual uscis website there is no change in the status.. is there a bug thats needs to fixed? i am confused

by MishellOK

Nice app so far. Great way to track your cases all in one place and get updates!

However, one feature is missing. I used it a couple of years ago to track my first case. And it was nice to look up similar cases and see their HISTORY with timeframes of every step. And once someone’s case got closed, and people were getting their docs, I could see WHERE they got them to then understand the timeframe of MY USCIS office.

It seems like they don’t store the history of every current case anymore (probably cause it’s memory consuming). They just save the history of your case on your phone, and that’s it. I get it, but still really miss that ability I once had.

by PrincessZoey

Love CaseTracker but I am not getting any notifications of case status updates on cases. I need to login, then update cases and then see current status on cases. Why doesn’t it give the notifications/alerts when a case updates. Checked all my notification features on the phone to make sure I can receive them but I don’t. I did however get a notification/alert about the new visa bulletin but none for case status when several cases were updated. PLEASE HELP.

by N85825

CaseTracker is greatly beneficial for the community of USCIS applicants, but I wish it had the feature for notifying the user about their case upon any status update, Such as I-140 or I-485.
Update: I still don't receive any notification regarding the status update that was made on my I-140 case yesterday. I just checked my USCIS account today and realized it from there. At least for my and my spouse's iphones, status update notification of CaseTracker doesn't work!

by MRGPAN

I like this website. The only thing that would make it better would be if you could see where your application throughout the process. In this day and age you would think that you would be able to track where your application is from beginning to end. It’s a long time from when your application is received to when you’re approved to not know anything about the status of your application.

by Yilita92

Doesn’t work! It’s not activating me in real time. My cases were approved and it still shows up as processing. It only worked for one of my cases at the beginning. It decided to tell me days later that my case was approved. For the second case I’ve been refreshing the page and it still says that the case is in process after it’s been approved for weeks now.

Update: I updated CaseTracker . It’s working now in real time. It updated my cases as soon as I updated CaseTracker .

by RajuMCA

Design and info in it is very nice. Seems there is some glitch. My case is missing in the populated values under specific application type tab. Probably you have programmed in such a way to render the values on the page based on the application type. Is there any other way to display my case under particular application tab(485)? Apart from ALL tab.

by Tdg69

I've had CaseTracker for years and I think it's excellent. But after the last update made a few days ago it just doesn't work well. Every time I try to update the information the screen stays locked, I have to close CaseTracker and reopen it, sometimes multiple times because it continues to be locked. I think that this error should be corrected. I have asked other people and the same thing happens to them.

by Cyruss021

So easy to track your case now with only one tap! Just ad your case by its receipt number (or you can also log in to your USCIS account and transfer all your pending cases from there) and it saves it in there. It sends you notification whenever there’s a change in the status of your case. Also you can just check it once in a while too just to make sure everything looks good by just opening CaseTracker with one tap :) thanks a lot for this useful app & keep up the good work!

by Thonymirandz

I downloaded CaseTracker because I needed to check my USCIS case for my citizenship application and I have to say that I was notified of everything that immigration was doing on my case. From day one. (You just need to put the number of the first letter (receipt) you got from immigration and that’s all, you will receive everything in CaseTracker ) I got notified, every review, every step, for literally everything.

I highly recommend CaseTracker . It’ll make everything easier.

Thanks

by Guillen_21

Love that I have all my cases in one spot and not login into separate cases to check for status update. I have 4 children in I-130 and my Wife in NVC process now and to be able to have them on CaseTracker I’m very happy with it….. one thing, I’m not sure how much it updates on my wife online account it’s complicated and waiting for interview, on CaseTracker it still says waiting to complete payment process to continue with case. Other than that I’m very happy with CaseTracker and will recommend to everyone especially if you have multiple cases.

by MrNipTuck

I am using CaseTracker to monitor progress on my wife’s green card petition (and various other associated applications).

USCIS will supposedly email you when there’s an update, but the emails sometimes are not timely, which makes CaseTracker valuable.

CaseTracker is a quicker way to check the status of your petitions than logging into the USCIS online account because that requires navigation to the website and two-factor authentication.

by ArianaAzimi

I recently used the USCIS application to track my case number and receive important notifications, and I must say it exceeded my expectations. CaseTracker is incredibly user-friendly, allowing me to easily navigate through the process and stay updated on my application status. The tracking feature is top-notch, providing real-time information and eliminating any uncertainties. I was pleasantly surprised by CaseTracker 's speed and efficiency in delivering notifications, ensuring that I never missed any critical updates. USCIS has truly created an invaluable tool for applicants like myself. I highly recommend CaseTracker to anyone seeking a streamlined and stress-free experience with their immigration applications. Well done, USCIS!

by R2d2vegas

It’s not actually because I love CaseTracker that much as I’m sure anyone going through immigration knows! It is however easy to use, I love the celebration when something is approved. The fact that you get monthly visa news bulletins let’s you know it’s still working and something is being updated even if it’s not your case. I’m also grateful that updates don’t require you to remember your password as I’m so long in the system that I’ve forgotten. It’s all good when there’s a happy ending. July 2013 to March 2023

by @only1purpleangel

I really enjoy being able to watch my case so closely. Its such a strain to not be in the know of things as you wait for this extremely important decision. I miss my husband so very much and having CaseTracker helps me to track the time and be aware of any changes immediately. If you're reading this plz pray for my husband and I to receive an approval and for him to come home really soon so we can build our lives and grow together. Thank you. Good luck to everyone.

by LifeofPi22

I found out that my naturalization application had been approved because of CaseTracker . I had gotten so frustrated by the wait that I gave up checking on it again and just assumed I would just never get my citizenship.
Then I saw a notification on CaseTracker , and I checked it. It said my application had been approved and I rushed to check it online to make sure it was real. It was. It felt nice, like celebrating with a close friend. They had confetti and everything on CaseTracker . Thank you for being there.
I recommend this to anyone who needs a trusted companion in your pocket checking your status in your behalf when you don’t have the time to.

by Misho Shafik

It’s easy to add different cases and do review the status for each. Once you click one of the cases you can see a timeline of the updates that happened to the case and the time since last update. Which are the main things I care about while checking cases.
There is also options to see official estimate time and the monthly visa bulletins. Which is good to have. I am happy using case tracker!

by Avi Mathur

I downloaded each single app out there to track updates for my case. This was the one to notify me the fastest (infact as soon as it happened) upon change in my case status. Recommend it to everyone out there who are tired of not being notified of their case status despite turning on the notifications in other apps!

by RuiSLopes

I love how it keeps track of every case in a very organized manner, and if you need more details you can always open each case.
Something I really enjoy is that you can use your case number and search cases that have numbers close to yours and see what their status is! And that’s awesome so you can kinda gauge how everyone is moving along.
I downloaded multiple apps, but this is the only one I use

by Robert Kingsly

CaseTracker is very good. It gives option to view multiple case number status for the entire family. All you have to do is just refresh CaseTracker so that it will get you the latest status. I was having issues and getting alert from CaseTracker, whenever there is a status update. So I have to go into CaseTracker and refresh it to see the latest update. I’m OK with that. In conclusion, CaseTracker is really good to keep track of entire family case status.

by Bee1787

Honestly, I can’t say enough positive things about CaseTracker and developer. After an update there were some changes to the chart function that were less than ideal and I reached out to the developer and he was immediately in contact with me and made tweaks that worked based on my suggestions and feedback. CaseTracker is a lifesaver to track my case and large amounts of data during this horrible backlog and the developer is really responsive in making this a really useful tool for its users.

by Boum Chagalakbdhbs

USCIS app has been an absolute game-changer for me! As someone navigating the complex immigration process, having all the necessary information and tools right at my fingertips has been invaluable. From checking my case status to easily accessing forms and resources, the USCIS app streamlines the entire experience. Its user-friendly interface and intuitive design make it a breeze to use, saving me time and reducing stress along the way. I highly recommend it to anyone going through the immigration journey!

by MikyMouseOf2012

Since started this application.. I seen this beautifully designed.. Upgrade never been let you down.. Keep up good work..

Few thing need to add if u can as priority date counting such as how far from priority day for GC... there is several in market such as GC card etc which calculate from visa screen and mention that 2256 days to go something like that ... since this is god of all USCIS update and features ... please add one more features than you are complete circle... have a blast day .....

by "Milah"

A lot easy to log into quicker access to your account and when you are approved it gives you confetti in red white and blue CaseTracker made it completely easy just wish the process of The CR-1 immigration process and wait time wasn’t so long and so complicated The wait time for the application To be approved is extremely way too long even before CovidPlease do better married couple’s shouldn’t have to spend the bigger part of their marriage separated...

by Better Digital Processes

As USCIS officials examine all of the information and supporting documents provided, CaseTracker could serve as a way to get additional/ clarification information from petitioners or beneficiaries. This can be designed to enhance (supplement and/or complement) the examining process, while still maintaining and adhering to the rights and obligations of both the USCIS and Petitioners/Beneficiaries.

Most application forms and business processes were designed in the pre-digital era when more frequent “interaction” between government agencies and the public was either too cumbersome or would take too long. Today’s digital technologies provide many opportunities for getting the officers the granular information of clarifications they need in order to process applications and arrive at their decisions.

“Customers” today are used to such multi-stage, complex interactions via digital channels, e.g. banking, e-commerce, health screening etc.

Even if only a fraction of petitions/ applications are processed this way, it could free up officers to deal with less “savvy” customers in more traditional ways.

by This_is_a_review_for_an_app

It works flawlessly, I use it it to track multiple cases all filed on the same day as my case to keep an eye on the processing and movement speed (the most unique and useful feature of CaseTracker). That feature had stopped working for a while in between so I contacted the developer. It took them some time to figure out the issue but they did finally respond with a thorough solution following which it has started working again!! 5 stars for functionality!

by DFF#

It’s an amazing app. I didnt know of its existence until I applied last week to be the supporter of a cousin.
It’s great to have a tool to follow up a case directly without the need to access an email or any other means of communication.
Thank you for improving your services every year, for getting more digital.
I already recommended it to many friends in US and will keep on recommending it.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my opinion.

by Mrfixxit70

I entered in my receipt number for my fiancé in China. I’ve been waiting to try to get a case number to keep up with where our paperwork was if it was still in California or New Jersey at the NVC or if it was in transit to her country, but it keeps me up-to-date and just told me that it had just been sent to department of state, and it keeps me up-to-date with everything very happy with CaseTracker. I recommend to download this if they’re wondering about something.

by LeslieD_runs

Very useful and I prefer it over some other options as it allow me to go directly to the USCIS website easily. It also doesn’t try to sell me legal advice every 5 seconds which is great. And the congrats confetti when different cases are approved is a nice touch.

USCIS of course as a federal agency is awful and the waiting times for processing are inhumane and costs are crazy because it’s not federally supported but apps like this make it easier to check for updates. So thank you.

Small change suggestion: Sometimes when I open it the sort order for my cases changes from how I left it so I get momentarily excited to see a green edge but then realize it’s not the one I’m waiting for to be approved and it swaps back to the other sort order with the unapproved one on top.

by Randomdez

I am in the process of waiting on my husbands visa so CaseTracker has come in handy. Since we are waiting it feels good to come to CaseTracker every day and check the status of our case. I trust it because I know many people that use it and it worked for them also. I also appreciate the bulletins. Finally, at the end of the day CaseTracker helps a lot with anxiety and desperation. Thank you.

by MasoodAzam

CaseTracker is very useful and saves time check my USCIS case updates, but after latest update when I tap update, the Updating popups and never goes off. The only solution I found is to completely close CaseTracker and restart to see the case updates. I hope developers will work on this issue soon.

by Kimcita Cerrato

Thank you so much for a great app. You definitely streamlined a really stressful process. Keeping track of the immigration status was so easy and finding out that I did not receive a notice timely was everything. Today I finally got my green card and just wanted to express my gratitude. I hope many more continue to benefit from CaseTracker.

by Marlhoe

CaseTracker is just excellent and gives us updates on our case and every time we get a notification we are just excited! Fireworks pop around when cases have been approved and it is so appropriate the emotions. Thank you to this marvelous app! We often get reports and get updated through CaseTracker more than our immigration lawyer haha!

by Aqd14

Feature-rich app, intuitive UI, and freee! I’ve been using CaseTracker for a year and have had great experiences with it. I noticed, however, CaseTracker stopped updating the statuses in near-realtime like it used to do. I received a notification on my case update over a week late. Still like it though. Hoping this will be improved in the near future.

by L@vingmee

I keep using CaseTracker because my husband and I have been waiting a year for the Embassy in Ghana to schedule my husbands interview. This is a helpful tool. Hoping and praying he will get the interview this year. We have been married 3 and a half years. I’ve been traveling to Ghana since 2017. We are in love. We keep hoping he will be able to come to America this year.

by DAPadmore

I just so concern about kids right now, and I’m graceful to say thanks to the immigration Bosses
for making it one easier ways to check out our cases.
I’m seriously missing my children that l haven’t
Seeing them for 20 years. But God’s time is fine.

by NorCalLeo

This is an excellent app to track your multiple cases with just one click. It even pushes notifications of status change if you forget to check after a while. Highly recommend!

by 123lbj Kb

This is a great app. It helps you to track your case. Also, it helps you to search and track a range of cases so that you could figure out how the USCIS processing goes. You know, when you are waiting for the result anxiously and having nothing else can do , it is a good choice to get a clue about the cases that around your case. Great App!

by Lalitgrg

I have been following USCIS online tracking app and it has always provided me a great resource. I try to read immigration news and my case status almost every time everyday and it has always been a great help. I am thankful for it’s resourcefulness and would hope to get the same help in the days to come. CaseTracker is simply great!!!

by Luqowo

Hello developer, your app has been a great tool for easy tracking, my question is I got a notification “ Tracking for this case will be available tomorrow” but when I check in and via uscis webpage nothing has change. Any reason for such notification?

by Er.pankajarora

Very simple and easy to use UI. Lots of information like visa bulletin and other uscis resources.
Two missing things for me are notifications for case status changes and addition of community discussion workplace where people can share their experiences and ask questions.

Thank you for the amazing work.

by Cesar0776546

It is a great app. I love it. Keep up the great work done here.
However, I have just an observation, even when the update says it solves the issue of crashing when opening the visa bulletin mine is still crashing when trying to open the visa bulletin (in iPhone X).
Other than that great app!

I do now updated CaseTracker . Opened it and checked the visa bulletin, it worked! Thank you again!

by Akfirbfj236472

CaseTracker is great. Best one out there. Simple to use. Minimally intrusive. Clear and concise. One con is that sometimes it doesn’t refresh the status automatically for days, requiring me to manually go check if I am anxious about a case that I am expecting updates on. But this doesn’t happen all the time, and most of the time it’s reflecting the latest status. Maybe adding a ‘last refreshed’ label can help with this.

by Ultra876

This is a great app for tracking all your US immigration cases!

Question to developers - after the most recent update (roughly 23rd Jan 2024) CaseTracker no longer appears to be doing case update checks in background - I.e. the case update checks are only made if I request it while I have CaseTracker open. Is that an intentional change or is something broken with that functionality? Thanks very much!
