The information here is updated daily. Before using the Case Status Request Service please read the following carefully: If you have submitted your application by mail and do not know your file number please be patient. For your own security we will not provide a file number over the internet. Always keep your identification numbers confidential. Both the "File Number" and the "Principal Applicant's Date of Birth" are required. Spouse's or dependants' dates of birth will not be accepted. If the case status indicates that we have sent you mail, PLEASE BE PATIENT. Mail sent by our office within China may take up to 2-3 weeks and mail sent overseas may take 3-6 weeks.
