Below are the step-by-step instructions of how to check the status of your nonimmigrant visa online:

1.Go to CEAC.STATE.GOV and click on “Check my visa application status”

2. You will then be directed to a page where you will need to select your “Visa Application Type” in the scroll down menu. Select “Nonimmigrant Visa (NIV)”

3. After, you will need to select a location from the dropdown menu. The location should be where your visa application is currently pending.

4. Then complete your Application ID information. This number can be located on either your DS-160 confirmation page or your DS160 ID

5. After you input your information and click “Submit” a page will pop up where you will see what your current nonimmigrant visa status is.

It’s that EASY! And just like that, now you can check your nonimmigrant visa status online anytime and anywhere!
