How can a refugee or anchor relative check his or her case status?
The Overseas Processing Entity responsible for processing the applicant’s AOR will notify the Voluntary Resettlement Agency where the anchor relative submitted the AOR. The notification includes when the applicant is scheduled for a circuit ride interview and/or whether the case is put on hold due to discrepancies or missing information. The refugee applicant should contact the US relative regarding his/her case status. The status of an I-730 Refugee/Asylee Relative Petition can be checked on-line at www.uscis.gov. The LIN-number can be found on the petitioner’s official visa receipt. The petitioner should contact the relevant US embassy with further inquiries.
