** You will need some specific information about your case to use the processing times webpage and case inquiry tools. Below is an example of where you can find specific information on USCIS correspondence.
** This information is also found on USCIS receipt notices, and some information may be found on a copy of your application, petition, or request. We also provide guidance for determining your form type (sometimes referred to as case type) and relevant form category.

How Is the Case Inquiry Date Calculated?
This is how we calculate the case inquiry date:
Case Inquiry Date = [time to complete 93% of adjudicated cases] – [today’s date – receipt date]
Example:
If you checked our processing times webpage on Jan. 1, 2022, for a form you filed on Jan. 1, 2021, and the time to complete 93% of adjudicated cases was 13 months, your case inquiry date would be calculated as:
Case Inquiry Date = [13 months] – [Jan. 1, 2022 – Jan. 1, 2021]
= [13 months] – [12 months]
= one month
In this example, we estimate that you would be able to contact us in one month. The tool will provide the exact date for you. If the calculation for the case inquiry date produces a negative number, you will be able to submit a question about your case.
