Golden Tip and Trick
🔍 How to Use the JSON Trick on USCIS Case Status
This only works in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge (since they both use Chromium).
Step 1: Open Your Case
• Go to the official USCIS case status page.
• Enter your receipt number and hit search.
Step 2: Open Developer Tools
• On Windows: Press CTRL + SHIFT + I.
• On Mac: Press CMD + OPTION + I.
This opens the Developer Tools panel.
Step 3: Find the Network Data
• In the panel, click the Network tab.
• Refresh the page (F5).
• Click the case number
Step 4: Inspect the JSON
• Click that request.
• Go to the Preview or Response tab.
• You’ll see the hidden JSON data — way more detailed than the public “Case is being processed” message.

📊 What You’ll See in JSON
• milestone_days_remaining → Countdown to the next action (interview, oath, etc.).
• overall_days_remaining → Estimated overall time left.
• action_code → Internal shorthand:
• FTA0 = File is in queue, waiting for action.
• XFER = Case transferred to another office.
• SCHD = Scheduling in progress.
• statusCode / milestone_code → Tracks each major step (biometrics, interview, oath).
This will allow you to view your case better than Emma as if you were speaking to a Tier 2 officer
