This application is an independent, third-party informational tool developed solely for personal reference purposes. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or maintained by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), any other government agency, any licensed immigration attorney, law firm, or their representatives.
All information displayed within this tool is generated entirely from the JSON data that you provide, sourced from the USCIS ELIS API. This tool performs no independent data retrieval, verification, or legal interpretation. Event code definitions are derived from publicly available NIEM schema documentation and are provided for general informational purposes only.
No data is ever transmitted to a server, database, or third party. All processing happens locally in your browser. If you choose to let the tracker save a case, that snapshot is stored only in your browser's local storage — it stays on your device and can be removed at any time from the Tracked Cases panel.
