How can I check the status of my case?

You can check your case status on the USCIS website here. You will need to input the receipt number you receive from USCIS.

If I move while my application is pending, how do I notify USCIS that I changed my address?

It is very important that you promptly update your address when you move. If you don’t, your certificate may be sent to the wrong address. You can update your address on USCIS’s website here.

Is there a way to get a copy of my naturalization certificate or at least information from my naturalization certificate?

If your situation only requires information from your certificate or just a copy of your certificate and not an actual original certificate, you may want to consider making a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request. You can request USCIS send you a copy of your certificate from your immigration file. It usually takes 30 to 45 days for USCIS to process this type of request. Please contact us at 385-955-4711 if you would like our assistance with this or do it on your own by clicking here.
