The four systems, explained simply
USCUSCIS Case Status OnlineUse this for many applications or petitions filed with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
What you may need
Look for the receipt number on an I-797 or I-797C notice. Enter it only on the official USCIS site.
What it cannot tell you
A short status message may not explain every issue, legal deadline, evidence request, or another agency's case.
Open official USCIS case status ↗EOIEOIR Automated Case InformationUse this for many cases before an immigration judge or the Board of Immigration Appeals.
What you may need
The official system commonly asks for an A-number. A written hearing notice or order still matters even if the screen looks different.
What it cannot tell you
The system may not show bond matters, every motion, USCIS filings, or all deadlines.
Open official immigration-court information ↗NVCNVC and CEACUse this after certain approved petitions move to the National Visa Center, an embassy, or a consulate.
What you may need
A Welcome Letter may contain an NVC case number and invoice ID. Use those only on the official CEAC website.
What it cannot tell you
CEAC does not decide whether a visa is available, whether a person is admissible, or when an interview will be scheduled.
Open official CEAC login ↗ICEICE Online Detainee LocatorUse this to look for an adult who may be in ICE custody or recently transferred from CBP custody.
What you may need
The official locator may ask for an A-number and country of birth, or biographical information. Enter it only on the ICE website.
What it cannot tell you
A missing result does not prove the person was released, and a result does not explain bond, defenses, hearings, or transfers.

A government status screen can be delayed, incomplete, or limited to one agency. Keep the complete paper notice and envelope. If a person is detained, a hearing is close, or a notice includes a response date, ask for legal review instead of relying only on the status screen.
