Quality and completeness of the initial filing

How to check your case status

Tips to avoid delays

File a complete petition with all required evidence and translations
Pay the correct USCIS filing fee — wrong amounts trigger rejection
Respond to RFEs within the deadline (usually 30–87 days)
Update USCIS within 10 days of any address change (Form AR-11)
Keep biometrics appointments — rescheduling adds 6–12 weeks
