USCIS EXPANDS myProgress TO FORM I-485 AND FORM I-821

On November 21, 2023, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced the expansion of myProgress (formerly known as personalized processing times) to Form I-821, Application for Temporary Protected Status, and Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. myProgress was implemented to improve customer experience by addressing applicant concerns about the status of their benefit requests while waiting for a decision. USCIS anticipates that the expansion of myProgress will reduce the need for case status inquiries, thereby increasing transparency in the adjudication process. myProgress will initially only be available for family-based or Afghan special immigrant I-485 applicants. In addition to Form I-485 and Form I-821, myProgress is available for applicants with a USCIS online account who file Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization; Form I-131, Application for Travel Document; Form N-400, Application for Naturalization; Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card; or Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative. To view myProgress, applicants must first create a USCIS online account or log into their online account and select their pending application. Applicants must have filed online or linked one of the applicable forms to their online account using an online access code to see a myProgress tab for their application. Applicants will still need to visit the public Check Case Processing Times webpage to determine if they are eligible to file an Outside of Normal Processing Times service request.
