The State Department recently introduced the ability to track both immigrant and nonimmigrant visa applications. This new tool is a welcome addition as many applications take months to complete as they go from the USCIS, to the Department of State’s National Visa Center, and then to the appropriate Department of State’s Consulate for interview.
Many questions remain for the online update…
How in depth will the update be? How accurate will the update be? How quickly will the update appear after the fact? Will all cases be included and updated consistently? I can continue, there are many others.
