Completing the USCIS application process is a significant achievement. Still, the anticipation of receiving your green card, employment authorization document (EAD), or travel document can be exciting and nerve-wracking. To alleviate the uncertainty, here’s a guide on tracking the delivery of your USCIS documents.
How to Track Your Documents:
1. USCIS Case Status Online Account:

Address Accuracy Matters:
If your tracking information indicates that your package was ‘delivered,’ but you haven’t received it, take immediate action:
- Contact Local Post Office: Promptly report the issue to your local post office.
- Update Your Address: Ensure accuracy with USCIS; update your address promptly.
- Stay Proactive: USCIS mails documents to the address on your application, so staying proactive is crucial.
Proactive Measures for Smooth Delivery:
