USCIS Status Check: Impossible to Reach Agents? Need Tips!

Ugh, USCIS is the worst! I've been trying to get through for weeks. It's like they don't want us to actually talk to anyone. 🤬

I found a method that actually works to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/eSz742AOvHc

Pro tip: try calling right when they open. I managed to get through after only a 30 minute wait last week. Good luck!

Has anyone tried using the USCIS online tools? I know they're not great, but sometimes you can get basic status info without having to call.

Listen up, folks. I've been dealing with USCIS for years, and here's what I've learned: • Persistence is key. Keep calling, even if it feels hopeless. • Use the USCIS Contact Center online to request a callback. It can take a while, but it works. • If your case is urgent, try contacting your local USCIS field office directly. • Consider reaching out to your congressional representative's office. They can sometimes help expedite things. • Document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every interaction. • Join online forums and groups specific to your visa/application type. The community often has great insider tips. Remember, the system is frustrating by design. Don't let it break you down. Stay strong and keep pushing!

Anyone else feel like the whole immigration system is designed to make us give up? It's like swimming against the current 24/7 😩

Hey OP, what specific status are you trying to check? Might be able to give more targeted advice if we know what kind of application you're dealing with.

lmao imagine if other businesses operated like USCIS. "Sorry, we can't tell you the status of your order. Please call our hotline and wait 4 hours to speak to someone who might not even have the info you need." 🤡
