Golden Tip
đ 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).
⢠Look for a request called something like:
case status/receipt number
Step 4: Inspect the JSON
⢠Click that request.
⢠Go to the Preview or Response tab.
⢠Youâll see the hidden JSON data â way more detailed than the public âCase is being processedâ message.
⸝
đ What Youâll See in JSON
⢠milestone_days_remaining â Countdown to the next action (interview, oath, etc.).
⢠overall_days_remaining â Estimated overall time left.
⢠action_code â Internal shorthand:
⢠FTA0 = File is in queue, waiting for action.
⢠XFER = Case transferred to another office.
⢠SCHD = Scheduling in progress.
⢠statusCode / milestone_code â Tracks each major step (biometrics, interview, oath).

Eva diva28 de ago de 2025
did someone try this? itâs too long to try and be disappointed lol
D t28 de ago de 2025
did anyone had sucessful? I checked my milestone_days_remaining and it was like 7, after 7 days it got 0 days and it keeps like that for the past week or so đ
D t28 de ago de 2025
in JSON shows âinterview was scheduledâ and on the portal just shows âcase still being processed by USCISâ
Jesus is King28 de ago de 2025
I tried myself and Iâm currently tracking my case that way
Jesus is King28 de ago de 2025
you can paste your JSON results here and Iâll let you know what it means @Hamza Hussain @Eva diva @D t
Jesus is King28 de ago de 2025
I was skeptical at first but based on code meaning I was able to determine where Iâm at. and Iâm on the queue for interview
Jesus is King28 de ago de 2025
FYI: Im not hacking lol I legit found about this 3 days ago and felt the need to share since it helps
time of God is perfect28 de ago de 2025
I am really struggling right now but canât do it
Jesus is King28 de ago de 2025
@time of God is perfect once you log in press ctrl+shift+ i all together. then got to response tab and click your case number, youâll see it
S A28 de ago de 2025
just tried it too. it doesnât show anything regarding âmilestone_days_remainingâ. just the action code
Elena V.28 de ago de 2025
my json result gives me back all nulls - maybe system error @Jesus is King
Ivan R28 de ago de 2025
@Jesus is King I dont have case status/receipt number once the developer page opens under the network. the first one is egov.uscis.gov. out of 49 requests none is case status/receipt number. also, after I log in and refresh page it goes back to check case status. I usually check it through api. is it the same type of information? the latest is from oct 2024 with FTA1 which chatGPT translates to stage 4 case decision
D t28 de ago de 2025
I think my action code is 36
D t28 de ago de 2025
@Jesus is King how you know what each code means? chat gpt?
Jesus is King28 de ago de 2025
@D t 36 means Case is ready to be scheduled for interview.
Jesus is King28 de ago de 2025
@Ivan R I believe they are but with some differences but Iâm not sure. this is based on what others have said
Jesus is King28 de ago de 2025
@Elena V. youâre clicking the wrong tab then. make sure youâre clicking on the network tab then go to response tab to see your case
Jesus is King28 de ago de 2025
@moe khudhur no need to refresh, just as soon as you see network click your case and you should see 2 versions one tells you your current status the other is the deeper stuff
Jesus is King28 de ago de 2025
I wish this thing would allow us to post pics
Sible James28 de ago de 2025
can I do this on my iPhone?
Ivan R28 de ago de 2025
@Jesus is King do you log into uscis account or it is enough to go through generic one - egov.uscis.gov - case status online
Ivan R28 de ago de 2025
@Jesus is King have you used API?
Lilian A28 de ago de 2025
can someone please explain to me like a child how to do this? itâs so confusing, can I do it on my iPhone?
Jesus is King29 de ago de 2025
@Ivan R havenât tried API but I will. I believe you can you regular case status check have not tried but will
D t29 de ago de 2025
@Ivan R as I know, you have to login on your account. I tried under generic and didnât shows me anything.
Elena V.29 de ago de 2025
I have tried another way and got back the results that confused me more lol. used ChatGPT to check the code but things didnât really make sense so I started googling and came across the list of codesâ abbreviations and seems like the chat was a bit wrong.
Eva diva29 de ago de 2025
I am lost after the refresh. I donât see case number/receipt number
Eva diva29 de ago de 2025
@Elena V. what way have you tried. I am stuck on step 3 lol
akash kumar29 de ago de 2025

Jesus is King29 de ago de 2025

Elena V.29 de ago de 2025
@Eva diva https://my.uscis.gov/account/case-service/api/cases/RECEIPT_NUMBER and it opens up json
Karam Aldawahir29 de ago de 2025
FTAO , does anyone have an idea how long to take an action?
eric villalva29 de ago de 2025
@Jesus is King all i see is 109 milestone remaining days
Jesus is King30 de ago de 2025
@eric villalva so when you logged in did you press ctrl+shift+i should have automatically been in the network tab click you case number should be a list and should be on the top
haryour key30 de ago de 2025

Houedougbe Onitchango9 de sep de 2025
hey @Jesus is King
Houedougbe Onitchango9 de sep de 2025
@Jesus is King I've been trying to read my JSON file but nothing
Jesus is King9 de sep de 2025
@Houedougbe Onitchango whatâs not working?
Houedougbe Onitchango10 de sep de 2025
@Jesus is King the whole JSON process. I've tried both with Mac and HP laptop still nothing
Ty Qualm11 de sep de 2025
@Jesus is King not working for me either. do you mind checking
Jesus is King11 de sep de 2025
@Houedougbe Onitchango @Ty Qualm ok so when you guys log in, make sure youâre using chrome. once you login press ctrl+shift+i. a window should pop up on the right of it says refresh, then just refresh the page if not you should be able to see a bunch of info populate. click on your case number and another window will come in with the JSON file. copy that and paste it here and Iâll let you know what it means. you can also use ChatGPT and it will pull the j formation for you
Houedougbe Onitchango11 de sep de 2025
@Jesus is King mine showed data collected from Google nothing else. I wish I could text outside this app
