USCIS Tracking
Where do I find my USCIS receipt number?
Quick Answer
Your receipt number is on the I-797 Notice of Action that USCIS mailed you after receiving your petition.
Detailed Explanation
USCIS sends Form I-797C (Notice of Action) by mail after they receive your petition. The receipt number appears in the top left corner of this notice. It's a 13-character code starting with three letters (IOE, WAC, LIN, SRC, EAC, or MSC) followed by 10 digits. You can also find it in your USCIS online account if you filed electronically. Keep this number safe - you'll need it to check your case status.
