Track your I-730 case status
The I-730, Refugee/Asylee Relative Petition, lets a refugee or asylee bring their spouse or unmarried children to the U.S. It's an emotional wait that can stretch for months, and USCIS won't tell you when it moves. TrackPetition watches your I-730 and emails you the moment its status changes.
What the I-730 is
You file the I-730 within the eligibility window after being granted refugee or asylee status to petition for qualifying family members. Once approved, the case moves toward consular processing or travel so your relative can join you.
Processing time & premium processing
Processing time depends on the service center and, for relatives abroad, on later steps outside USCIS. Premium processing is not available for the I-730. Because a family reunion hangs on it, following each status change closely helps you act on an approval or an evidence request without delay.
Processing times change constantly — for the current figure for your specific form and category, check the official USCIS processing-times tool.

Common USCIS statuses
You'll usually see "Case Was Received", "Request for Additional Evidence Was Sent", "Case Was Approved", and transfer/notice updates. USCIS often re-words equivalent steps; we normalize those so real movement reaches you cleanly.
Why tracking matters
An I-730 approval is the green light for the next step in bringing your family, and an RFE has a firm deadline. Same-day alerts mean you learn about an approval or evidence request the day USCIS posts it.
