Quick Access to Helpful Tools and Resources
USCIS Case Status
If you have a case pending with USCIS, you may check your status online. You will need your Receipt Number, which you can find on notices of action USCIS has sent you. (The receipt number consists of three letters — for example, EAC, WAC, LIN, SRC, NBC, MSC, or IOE — followed by 10 numbers.)
USCIS Change of Address
All aliens in the U.S. are required to report any change of address or new address. If you have a pending case, you will need to provide your Receipt Number.
Naturalization Practice Test
The civics practice test is a study tool to help you test your knowledge of U.S. history and government. Use this online tool to prepare for the civics portion of the naturalization test. This practice test contains 20 questions.
