The United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) National Benefits Center (NBC) Liaison Committee has identified that there is a problem with the interface tool for the “Case Status Online.”

Not only has this problem caused much delay in the recording of new receipt numbers in the system, it has hampered the updating of status information for those cases already in the online system. The Liaison Committee stated that the issue was not limited to NBC filings, and that the problem has been recurring.

The NBC Liaison Committee did not provide a time estimate of when they expected the interface to be fixed.

So, if you USCIS online case status shows error message, have your employer or immigration attorney follow-up with USCIS.

Update:

If your USCIS case status does not recognize your receipt number entered in 2024, there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Verify that the receipt number you entered is correct: Double-check that you entered the correct receipt number. Receipt numbers are 13 characters long and usually begin with three letters (such as EAC, WAC, LIN, or SRC) followed by a series of numbers.
2. Wait a few days and try again: Sometimes, there may be a delay in updating the USCIS system with your case status. Try waiting a few days and checking again.
3. Contact USCIS: If you continue to have trouble, you can contact USCIS for assistance. You can call the USCIS Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283 or submit an online request for assistance through the USCIS Contact Center Inquiry form. Make sure to provide your receipt number and any other relevant information.
4. Check for other updates: If your case status is not available, it’s possible that USCIS has not yet updated the status of your case. Keep an eye on your mailbox for any USCIS notices or letters, and check your email for any updates from USCIS.

Is anyone facing an invalid receipt number on the USCIS website for H1B 2024?

Try Browser’s Private Mode

Many times, the USCIS website may not work correctly due to browser’s cookie (technical term). Just open your browser’s private mode (Chrome – ‘In-cognitio mode’), launch USCIS case status website and now use your receipt number to check.

If it works, then you need to clear your ‘browsing history’ and cookies from normal window to make USCIS website work correctly.

None of the Options Work for you?

If you are not able to check your case status on either DHS website or USCIS website, then there is no need to worry.

As long as you have an official USCIS paper receipt with the receipt number printed on it, your case is valid. USCIS websites sometimes do not display the correct status or recognize case number of many people. You are not alone.
