Genealogy Case Status Inquiry

Genealogy requests submitted online are acknowledged by the receipt generated when a request is successfully submitted.  The receipt includes the case identification number as well as the date of submission.

Genealogy requests submitted by postal mail are acknowledged by a letter notifying the requester of the case identification number and the receipt date.

At the bottom of the USCIS Genealogy Program home page you will find a message indicating the receipt date of requests currently being processed.  This message is updated weekly.  Requesters may check the web site at any time to see our progress toward the receipt date of their request.

Questions regarding the receipt of a particular request or urgent status inquiries may be sent via email to Genealogy.USCIS@dhs.gov, or by leaving a message at our toll-free voice mail number (866) 259-2349
