How to check the status of your case

Last updated on May 17, 2023

To learn the status of your case, first you need to know which immigration agency to check. Some asylum seekers have a case in immigration court. Other asylum seekers do not have a case in immigration court, and apply for asylum with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Whether your asylum case is with immigration court or with USCIS, your work permit application will be submitted to and processed by USCIS.
