Automated USCIS Case Status Alerts

A few times a day, WebRun signs into the USCIS account portal, checks each tracked case for a status change, posts a summary to your immigration team's Slack channel, and sends a Telegram ping to the case owner so a status change never sits unnoticed.

In short

How do I know right away when a USCIS case status changes?

WebRun signs into your USCIS account portal a few times a day, checks every tracked case for a status change, posts a summary to your team's Slack channel, and sends the case owner a direct Telegram ping, so an immigration case update gets seen and actioned the same day it happens.

  • Case status changes are caught within hours, not checked manually
  • Every change is logged to a shared Slack channel automatically
  • The case owner gets a direct Telegram ping so nothing slips

Questions, answered

Will it take any action on my case?

No. WebRun only reads the status shown in your USCIS account and reports changes. It never submits forms, responds to requests, or edits anything on your case.

Who sees the status update?

The whole team sees a summary in Slack, and the specific case owner also gets a direct Telegram ping so a change never gets lost in a busy channel.

How often does it check?

It checks tracked cases every few hours during business hours, so a status change is usually caught within hours, not days.
