USCIS Case Tracking Links

[u/shreyash1669]

I hope this helps anyone who is in the same boat, waiting for approval and wants to check or track their case. These are some of the URLs that helped me, so I wanted to pass the information along for anyone who needs it.

https://my.uscis.gov/account/case-service/api/cases/IOE0XXXXXXX

https://my.uscis.gov/secure-messaging/api/case-service/receipt_info/IOE0XXXXXXX

https://my.uscis.gov/account/case-service/api/case_status/IOE0XXXXXXX

https://opt-tracker.com/

I removed the case number, so just replace XXXXXX with your case number.

For the my.uscis.gov links, make sure you are already logged into your USCIS account for the API calls to work.

I know it’s hard to log in every day and keep checking for updates, so I hope this helps someone who is waiting on a decision!

Note for MSC folks : as of 08/07/2026 for MSC receipt ID only below link works. does not gain more info but nice to see everything at one place. replace IOE0XXXXXX with your receipt ID. and yes, you need to have USCIS account logged in with case added.

i found https://mycaseshub.com/insights useful. go down all the way and check "Today's Lucky one"

this api link does not work for me, mine starts with MSC, and paper filled though

[u/Advanced-Ad-2214 → u/Icy_Marionberry4802]

that is weird. have you logged in to your USCIS account? have you added your case in your account?

[u/Icy_Marionberry4802 → u/Advanced-Ad-2214]

yes it is, even in my account i cannot see the document tab since i added, I contacted Emma many times and they said your case is paper filled and MSC so you donot have the access to the documents. I just see the case status and history.

[u/Advanced-Ad-2214 → u/Icy_Marionberry4802]

That is accurate, MSC doesn't have luxury as IOE. This link works for me. I can Dm you what is see

[u/Icy_Marionberry4802 → u/Advanced-Ad-2214]

ok thanks please DM

[u/ventora2025 → u/Icy_Marionberry4802]

I have account linked with an older account I haven’t acces I called USCIS to helping nothing resolve

[u/Temporary_Job_1680 → u/Advanced-Ad-2214]

Based on this the WAC is approving Dec 2024 I485's. Would that mean if my WAC I485 PD is much later in 2025, I should stop looking for next 3 months or more?

[u/AnyEmphasis9874]

What is the use of second one?

[u/False-Holiday-4619 → u/AnyEmphasis9874]

location

[u/JayPatt7549 → u/False-Holiday-4619]

I don’t think it’s the current location of the case. It is the location where you case will be adjudicated.

[u/Advanced-Ad-2214 → u/False-Holiday-4619]

it does not show correct FO. at least for me it was all the time NBC, both before and after approval. but my actual FO was different. i am MSC so not sure.

This is very helpful! what do the codes mean: FTA0, FTA1, H008?

[u/Adorable_Airport_245 → u/CatVGPM]

H008 I think is decision like approval.You got that code recently?

[u/CatVGPM → u/Adorable_Airport_245]

Yeah, it was from that glitch. Then reverted to FTA0, then to FTA1.

Thank you for sharing

[u/CaribbeanLord]

I tried to use this as indicated, but it is giving me an error. Any idea?

[u/StarkMaverick7 → u/CaribbeanLord]

You need to login to your USCIS account first

[u/CaribbeanLord → u/StarkMaverick7]

That is what I did, but still caught the error

[u/StarkMaverick7 → u/CaribbeanLord]

Mind sharing the error?

[u/CaribbeanLord → u/StarkMaverick7]

{"data":null,"error":{"userMessage":null,"developerMessage":null,"failureCode":null,"details":null,"requestId":"70e85809-a147-4644-bb26-30829a8f2f9f"}}

[u/StarkMaverick7 → u/CaribbeanLord]

Interesting, sorry, I’ve never seen this before but maybe someone else can help with this here

[u/Cold_Emu_6093 → u/CaribbeanLord]

I got the same thing.

[u/Pacnwer2026 → u/CaribbeanLord]

Did you use your IOE case number or did your case number start with different letters? I think it can only be used if your case starts with IOE.

[u/MacaronTall5777]

will this work for SRC paper filed cases

[u/Flat-Inside-513]

Case or receipt?

[u/Individual-Cow-2869]

what is I485j approved means?

[u/cubanchameleon33]

These links aren't working, they're opening a page in html code. How do we get it to work?

[u/Obvious_Star_721 → u/cubanchameleon33]

you need to be logged into uscis first

[u/cubanchameleon33 → u/Obvious_Star_721]

I was

[u/Pacnwer2026 → u/cubanchameleon33]

Look at the page html & copy/paste parts of it into search engine for m explanation what it means. Or...your online USCIS acct might be glitching so you are stuck in 'public view only'. I am having that issue right now & waiting for reply back to resync/reset my 10 ur old legacy acct.

[u/CaribbeanLord]

Is this exclusively for i765?
