Generally, I don't want people corresponding with USCIS, unless they've been asked to do so. It's generally not a good idea to just out of the blue, write USCIS a letter. So our advice generally is to not send USCIS a letter.
Submit a secure message through your USCIS online account. Submit an inquiry through the Ask Emma chat feature. Call the USCIS Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283. See our USCIS Contact Center Tip Sheet on how to best reach out to the USCIS Contact Center.
Your letter should be addressed to the USCIS office that is responsible for your case. You can find the address on the USCIS website or by contacting the USCIS national customer service center. You should also include a clear and professional salutation, such as “Dear USCIS Officer” or “To Whom It May Concern.”
Follow these simple steps to check your case status with your USCIS receipt number: Visit the USCIS Case Status Page. Go to the Check Your Case Status page on USCIS. Enter your USCIS receipt number. Type the 13-character receipt number into the provided box (without dashes). Review Your Case Status.
Start with an introduction that clearly states your purpose and why you're writing the letter. In the middle section, provide a detailed explanation of your request or concern. Use supporting evidence to make your case as strong as possible. Finally, end your letter with a polite but firm request for action.
The receipt number is a unique 13-character identifier that USCIS provides for each application or petition it receives. The agency uses it to identify and track its cases. The receipt number consists of three letters-for example, EAC, WAC, LIN, SRC, NBC, MSC or IOE-and 10 numbers.
