INS PROPOSES CREATION OF ONLINE CASE STATUS SERVICE
Immigrants' Rights Update, Vol. 16, No. 5, September 10, 2002

The Immigration and Naturalization Service has proposed to launch a service that would provide case status information to individual applicants and their representatives via the internet. To look up their case's status online, applicants would have to type their case receipt number into a web-based application. Once applicants made an inquiry through the web-based service, they would be able to request e-mail notification of further status changes. The INS also proposes to provide a toll-free telephone number that would allow applicants to check on the status of their cases through an interactive voice response telephone system.

The online case status service was proposed in a Federal Register notice published Aug. 13, 2002. Comments on the proposal are due on or before Oct. 15, 2002.
