USCIS Extends “MyProgress” to Form I-485 and Form I-821 — Visa Lawyer Blog — November 27, 2023

Did you know? U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) recently announced that online account holders can take advantage of a new tool called “myProgress.”

“MyProgress” allows applicants to view personalized estimates of approximate wait times for major milestones and actions taken on their cases including final case decisions. These estimates are provided based on case type and historical patterns. They do not guarantee time frames and do not take into account external factors that can prolong the processing of applications.

Who can take advantage of this new tool?

Online account holders who have the following applications pending with USCIS can use the “myProgress” tool:

How can you use myProgress?

To use the “myProgress” tool, applicants must first create a USCIS online account or log into their online account and select their pending application. If applicants filed online or linked one of the applicable forms to their online account using an online access code, they will see a myProgress tab for their application. The myProgress tab displays the estimated wait time until their case has a decision, along with a checkmark beside milestones as they are completed:

• Confirmation that the application was received;
• Movement of the application through preprocessing and adjudicative steps; and
• Case decision.

Applicants must still visit the public Check Case Processing Times webpage to determine if they are eligible to file an Outside of Normal Processing Times service request.
