Either way, to check the status of an H1B visa application you will need your 13 digit receipt number. 
 

What is a receipt number?
For each H1B visa application, the USCIS assigns a unique 13 digit alphanumeric number. There are 4 USCIS service centers to handle H1B applications. The first 3 character of your receipt signifies the particular service center, where the application is being processed. They can be any one of WAC, EAC, SRC, and LIN.
For example, an application submitted to California state will have a receipt number starting with WAC. 

 

Following are the USCIS service center telephone numbers to find out your H1B visa status. Call the appropriate number and keep your receipt number ready in order to use this service.
