How does Auto Check work?

Quick Answer

Auto Check queries USCIS servers every 2-6 hours, compares with previous status, and notifies you of changes.

Detailed Explanation

Auto Check Engine runs in the background on your iOS device. Every 2-6 hours, it sends your receipt number to egov.uscis.gov (same website you would check manually). The app compares the new status with the previous status stored locally. If there's any change in the status text, last updated date, or case details, you receive an instant push notification. Complete history is saved so you can see your case timeline.
