If you have a question about your case, you may use our convenient online tools. If you have tried our tools and still need help, you may submit an online case inquiry or call to the USCIS Contact Center. Depending on what information we need to respond to your request, we may forward a service request to the office that is processing your case.
The Service Center Operations Directorate (SCOPS) has five service centers (California, Nebraska, Texas, Vermont, and Potomac) that process and adjudicate certain immigration applications and petitions.
The National Benefits Center (NBC) processes cases with receipt numbers starting with MSC and NBC*, but it is not a USCIS Service Center. The service centers and the NBC do not provide in-person assistance with questions about your case.
If you contacted the USCIS Contact Center about a case at one of the USCIS Service Centers or the NBC and they sent a service request to the center processing your case, you should receive a response within 30 days (15 days for expedited requests). If you do not receive a response within this timeframe, or if you believe the response you received was incorrect, you may contact the USCIS Contact Center to have your inquiry elevated.
If you have a question about a filing mailed to the Chicago, Dallas, Phoenix, or Elgin Lockbox you may email us at lockbox...@uscis.dhs.gov and we will answer your email as soon as possible. Please include the form number, receipt number, petitioner and/or applicant name, and mailing address. Do not include Social Security numbers in emails.
USCIS must verify your identity and confirm your eligibility to receive information before providing any information or other requested service. Before calling the USCIS Contact Center, you should have your receipt notice(s) for the particular form(s) on which you would like to request information or other services for reference during the call. You should also have a copy of the pending or approved application or petition that you are calling about readily available, if possible. If the USCIS Contact Center is unable to provide information or to make the change that you requested, you may be scheduled for an in-person appointment at a USCIS field office.
If the inquiry is related to a Form I-751 waiver based on battery or extreme cruelty, then petitioners and/or their representatives must submit the signed inquiry to the appropriate service center by paper correspondence:
Note: To receive a response, the individual making the inquiry must have a properly executed Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Representative, filed on the specific case. We will not respond to emails from anyone who is not named on the Form G-28 on file for the case.
The E-Verify Contact Center is available to assist you with using E-Verify, password resets, assistance with cases and technical support. They can also answer your questions about E-Verify policies and procedures, Form I-9 and employment eligibility.
We invite the public to submit feedback regarding Policy Manual publications. Feedback received is not considered public comments for purposes of notice-and-comment rulemaking. However, USCIS appreciates hearing from the public and considers the feedback we receive informally to identify areas where USCIS can improve service or, where legally permissible, make changes to existing policies that may impact individuals seeking immigration benefits. See our Policy Manual Feedback page for information on how to submit policy feedback.
Federal agencies that propose new regulations or forms, or changes to existing regulations or forms, generally publish notices in the Federal Register and provide a specific period of time to receive public comments. You may submit comments at regulations.gov, following the instructions in the Federal Register publication about the specific rule, form or other information collection.
Visit the Feedback Opportunities page to share your ideas and comments with USCIS. If you would like to notify us of a systemic operational issue, such as a pattern of potentially incorrect notices, you may contact us at public.e...@uscis.dhs.gov.
If you would like to provide feedback on this uscis.gov website, you may email us at uscis.w...@uscis.dhs.gov. Para espaol, enve un mensaje de correo electrnico a uscis.espan...@uscis.dhs.gov.
