U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) provide an important first step to those looking to become American citizens.
Here are a few of the most common questions my office receives about USCIS:
How can I find out the status of my paperwork with the USCIS?
The first place to check is on any receipt notice received from the USCIS. On that form there may be an estimated time of how long it will take to process the type of paperwork you filed. You should usually wait until that estimated time has passed before inquiring further.
If you have a life or death emergency during this time that involves your USCIS paperwork, please contact my office as soon as possible to see if I can help. If the normal processing time has passed, and you wish to contact my office for assistance, my staff will be glad to assist you by making an inquiry about your application to USCIS.
The USCIS website has information on every type of form, addresses for USCIS offices, information on fee changes, and a place to order forms online or through the mail.
The following links on the USCIS website can provide additional information to the most common questions that our office receives:
