Automated Case Status provides real‑time access to immigration court data through the Executive Office for Immigration Review’s Automated Case Information (ACI) portal. By entering an A‑Number, receipt number, or attorney docket number, users can view the current case status, scheduled hearing dates, motion decisions, and any pending filings for the primary case. The system reflects the latest entries made by court clerks and updates promptly after official written notices, though brief delays may occur. The EOIR operational status page lists open or closed courts with timestamps; for example, severe flooding forced temporary closures of the California Central and New York City districts on August 10 2022, yet ACI continued to accept queries about postponed or rescheduled hearings.
USCIS offers a parallel Case Status Online tool that accepts a 13‑character receipt number from Form I‑797, I‑94 or related petitions. After entry, the portal displays the processing stage—such as “Case was received,” “Request for Evidence issued,” or “Approved”—with the action date and upcoming biometric or interview appointments. Users who create an account receive email or SMS alerts, can download a PDF case timeline, and export multiple case histories to CSV. Law firms can extend the service with a branded mobile client portal that pushes deadline reminders and enables document uploads directly from clients.
Automated Case Information – United States Department of Justice
The Automated Case Information (ACI) portal, operated by the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) within the U.S. Department of Justice, delivers real‑time updates on immigration court proceedings. By entering an A‑Number, receipt number, or attorney docket number, users can retrieve the current status of a specific case, see scheduled hearing dates, review motion decisions, and identify any pending filings. The information displayed reflects the most recent entries made by court clerks and applies solely to the primary case listed; secondary matters are not shown on this screen.

EOIR Automated Case Information – Current Court Closures
The EOIR operational status page lists the open or closed status of each immigration court, providing timestamps for when a closure was announced and an estimated time for service restoration. On August 10 2022, the California Central district and the New York City district were temporarily shut due to severe flooding, and the page recorded the exact hour each closure took effect. While the courts were closed, the Automated Case Information system continued to accept case‑specific queries, allowing interested parties to verify whether a hearing had been postponed, cancelled, or rescheduled. The page also directs users to the main ACI portal for detailed case updates.

Case Status – USCIS
USCIS provides an online portal where anyone with a 13‑character receipt number—found on Form I‑797, Notice of Action, or Form I‑94—can check the exact processing stage of an immigration application. After entering the receipt number, the system displays status messages such as “Case was received,” “Request for Evidence issued,” or “Approved,” along with the date each action occurred. By creating a personal account, users receive automatic email and text alerts whenever the status changes, can download a complete case history, and can view upcoming biometric or interview appointments. The portal also supports simultaneous queries for multiple receipt numbers, allowing attorneys to monitor several client files at once.

Case Status – USCIS Login and Search
To access detailed case information, users may log in to the USCIS Case Status Online portal or create a new account if they have not done so previously. The login screen requests the same 13‑character receipt number and, upon successful authentication, presents a dashboard that lists all filings associated with that number, including petitions, applications, and renewal requests. The dashboard includes a DHS Privacy Notice link and explains why an account improves communication: it enables secure storage of personal data, provides a single sign‑on for multiple USCIS services, and records a complete audit trail of every status change. New users can click “Sign Up” to begin the registration process, which requires a valid email address and a phone number for verification.

Disclaimer – United States Department of Justice
When new hearing dates are being arranged, the Automated Case Information system may not reflect the most current schedule until the official notice is issued. Respondents and their legal representatives will receive a written notice of the new hearing date at least ten days before the appointment, as required by federal regulations. The portal is updated promptly after the notice is dispatched, but brief delays can occur while court clerks enter the revised information. Users are advised to verify any critical deadlines by contacting the specific immigration court handling the case.

Case Status Online – USCIS
The “Case Status Online” feature allows anyone with a USCIS receipt number to retrieve the most recent processing update without needing to call a call center. After submitting the receipt number, the portal lists the current status, the date of the last action, and any upcoming steps such as a biometric collection or an interview appointment. Users who sign up for an account receive proactive notifications via email or SMS whenever the status changes, and they can access a downloadable PDF that summarizes the entire case timeline from receipt to final decision.

Case Status – Mobile Client Portal for Law Firms
Case Status offers a branded mobile client portal that law firms can customize with their logo, color scheme, and contact information. After a firm creates an invitation, the portal sends an SMS link to the client, who can download the app and instantly view the status of their immigration matter. The system automatically displays upcoming deadlines, required documents, and scheduled appointments, which reduces the volume of inbound calls to the firm’s office. Clients can also upload supporting documents directly through the app, and the portal records each upload in the firm’s case management system for easy retrieval.
EOIR Automated Case Info (Immigration Court)
The Executive Office for Immigration Review has added an online interface that lets users obtain the latest case information by entering a unique A‑Number. The service is available in both English and Spanish, and it displays the most recent hearing date, any pending motions, and the current status of the case. The automated hotline at 800‑898‑7180 (TDD 800‑828‑1120) remains operational for callers who prefer a voice response; the hotline provides the same data that appears on the web portal, and it operates seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Time.

Case Status Tools – USCIS
USCIS’s Case Status Tools enable users to track one or multiple receipt numbers through a single interface. After entering each receipt number, the tool shows the current processing stage, a chronological list of actions taken, and any pending requests such as a Request for Evidence. Users can export the case history to a CSV file for record‑keeping or share the status with an attorney via a secure link. By signing up for notifications, users receive instant email or text alerts whenever the status of any tracked case changes.

EOIR Operational Status – Department of Justice
If a hearing appears to have been postponed, individuals should first consult the EOIR Automated Case Information System online or call the dedicated hotline at 800‑898‑7180 (TDD 800‑828‑1120). The operational status page also indicates whether a specific immigration court is conducting remote hearings via video conference, a practice that has expanded since the COVID‑19 pandemic. The page is updated in real time as courts transition between in‑person and virtual formats, and it includes links to local court contact information for further assistance.

Automation Features – Mobile Client Portal for Law Firms
The automation module lets law firms assign checklists to clients at each stage of an immigration case. When a case moves from “Initial Filing” to “Biometrics,” the system automatically generates a task list that includes required documents, payment instructions, and appointment reminders. Firms can customize the description of each stage, add conditional steps based on case type, and monitor client completion rates through real‑time dashboards. This automation reduces the average case resolution time by ensuring that clients receive clear, actionable guidance exactly when it is needed.
