Frequently asked questions

Do you store my case details?

No. The timeline is computed and saved in your browser; your receipt date and picks never reach our servers. Clearing it removes it from this browser.

Is this a prediction of my case?

No. It is arithmetic on USCIS-published data: where your elapsed time sits against the posted range, and which published inquiry cutoff applies. It is not legal advice and not a prediction of any case.

Where do the official steps come from?

From the process USCIS publishes for each form. Not every case has every step, and no step has a date until USCIS sends the notice for it.

How does the timeline stay current?

The posted ranges come from our weekly capture of USCIS processing times. The page states the capture date, and past 8 days it says plainly that the archive is stale.
