Frequently Asked Questions
What is an I-797 Notice of Action?+
An I-797 Notice of Action is a document USCIS sends you to confirm they received your application (receipt notice) or that your application has been approved (approval notice). Different types of I-797 notices include receipt notices (I-797C), approval notices (I-797), and transfer notices. You should keep every I-797 you receive as an important immigration record.
Can I use my I-797 receipt notice to prove my immigration status?+
Yes, in certain situations. For example, a Form I-90 receipt notice extends the validity of an expiring green card by 24 months. An I-765 receipt notice may extend your work authorization if your renewal is pending. However, not all receipt notices extend status — it depends on which form you filed. Asal Multi Services can explain exactly what your I-797 means for your situation.
My I-797 receipt notice has the wrong information — what do I do?+
If your I-797 has incorrect personal information (wrong name, date of birth, address), contact USCIS immediately to have it corrected. A simple error does not affect your case, but having the correct information on file is important. Asal Multi Services can help you draft a letter to USCIS requesting a corrected notice.
I never received my I-797 receipt notice — what should I do?+
If you filed an application and did not receive a receipt notice within 90 days (and your check or money order was cashed), contact USCIS by calling 1-800-375-5283 or submitting an inquiry through the USCIS website. Asal Multi Services can help you track your case status and contact USCIS on your behalf.
