Your case data stays yours.

What the extension does
Case Status — DACA & Work Permit uses your active myUSCIS browser session only after you click Check both cases. It requests your case information directly from my.uscis.gov, verifies that the receipts correspond to Form I-821D and Form I-765, and displays a compact summary in the extension.
Information handled
The extension handles the two IOE receipt numbers you enter and the case information USCIS returns, which may include an applicant name, case status, filing and update dates, event counts, service-center information, notices, and document counts. It does not ask for, read, or store your USCIS password.
Mobile manual fallback
While the Chrome extension is under review and official website API access is pending, visitors with IOE receipts may open an unofficial, session-based case-data link hosted by my.uscis.gov for each case, copy the JSON USCIS displays, and paste it once into the matching case box on this website. The JSON is parsed locally inside the browser tab. It is not uploaded to the Case Status server, sent to an AI service, logged, or placed in a database. The raw pasted text is cleared after a successful analysis. A temporary, expanded field view remains only in the current tab until it is refreshed or closed and is never saved. USCIS may change or remove this unofficial endpoint without notice.
Local storage
Raw USCIS responses are processed temporarily in memory and are not saved. Browser storage remembers your two receipt numbers, theme preference, compact case summaries, and a movement ledger on this device. The ledger stores a limited, sanitized comparison snapshot—such as USCIS timestamps, event codes, notices, counts, and case-status flags—so an older value can remain visible after USCIS replaces it. It does not save the raw JSON, event IDs, notice letter IDs, or a second copy of the applicant name. Clear this site's browser data to remove the website information, or use Forget saved cases inside the extension to remove extension information.
Movement tracking begins with the first case snapshot saved in that browser. CStatus cannot reconstruct an older timestamp or change that was already absent before the first check. Checking from another browser or device creates a separate local history.
Extension-to-dashboard transfer
When you open the full dashboard from the Chrome extension, cstatus.us may request the compact summaries already saved by the extension. Chrome permits this request only from the CStatus domain. The local transfer can include the two receipts, applicant name, status wording, dates, sanitized event codes, notices, and counts. It never includes your password, USCIS session cookies, or raw USCIS responses. The imported summaries are not uploaded to the developer or a CStatus server; they remain in that browser's local storage.
No collection or sharing
The developer does not receive, collect, sell, share, or transmit your USCIS login credentials, receipt numbers, pasted JSON, or case information. The extension contains no analytics, advertising, tracking, remote code, or background status polling. It communicates with my.uscis.gov when you request a check and can respond locally to cstatus.us when you open the full dashboard.
Limited Use disclosure
Case Status uses personal or sensitive information only to provide its single user-facing purpose: retrieving and displaying the user's requested I-821D and I-765 case summaries. The information is not used or transferred for advertising, profiling, creditworthiness, unrelated services, or sale. No human is permitted to read the information because it is never transmitted to the developer.
Permissions
Independent service
Case Status is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to USCIS or the U.S. government. It does not provide legal advice. Always rely on official USCIS notices for legal decisions.
