If the receipt number will not link to your USCIS account, do not assume the case is lost. Compare the receipt notice, filing method, mailing address, access code, and online-account history before deadlines or notices are missed.
Use this guide to organize the case record before contacting USCIS, missing an appointment, or escalating a delay.
Use the I-797 receipt notice, payment record, and filed N-400 copy to confirm the receipt number, filing date, applicant name, and address used on the application.
A paper-filed case, expired online access code, duplicate account, family-helper login, or attorney account can keep a valid case from appearing in the applicant account.
