USCIS case status by form
Choose the form for the receipt you are reading. Each application has its own status and notices; movement on a related form does not establish its outcome.
I-485 case status ↗
Adjustment of Status
An I-485 status concerns the adjustment application. Read its own receipt and decision notice; an I-765 work-permit update or I-130 petition approval does not establish the I-485 outcome.
I-130 case status ↗
Petition for an Alien Relative
An I-130 status concerns the petition. Its approval does not by itself establish approval of a separate adjustment application, issuance of a visa or completion of another process.
I-765 case status ↗
Employment Authorization
An I-765 status concerns employment authorization. Distinguish a decision, card-production record, mailing record and actual delivery; they are separate pieces of evidence.
N-400 case status ↗
Naturalization
An N-400 case timeline can help organize receipt, appointment and decision records. An interview event by itself does not establish that naturalization is complete.
I-131 case status ↗
Travel Documents
Read the I-131 status and notice for the particular request you filed. A case event or related-form approval alone does not establish permission to travel.
