USCIS

Creating a USCIS Online Account is open to anyone filing a form, benefit, or service request with USCIS. If you are working with an attorney or representative, they can create their own account to manage your case, but they cannot access your account.

Benefits of having a USCIS Online Account include:

  • Filing certain USCIS forms, benefits, or service requests online
  • Receiving alerts regarding changes to your submitted forms or benefits
  • Easily uploading required documents and paying fees online
  • Preventing common form filing mistakes such as missing required fields
  • Checking the status of your USCIS case online with a full history of updates
  • Responding to Request for Evidence (RFE) online if applicable
  • Receiving confirmation and receipt notices for forms filed online
  • Securely sending messages and responses with USCIS.
How to Sign Up for a USCIS Online Account:

1. Access the Sign Up page: https://myaccount.uscis.gov/users/sign_up

  • Note: It is important to avoid creating a shared account with anyone. Your USCIS online account is strictly for your personal use. Having separate accounts ensures efficient service and safeguards your personal information.

2. Enter your email and press "Sign Up."

  • Your email address will serve as your login for your USCIS online account. All email communications from USCIS will be sent to this email address.
