1. Description of Service

VisaWatch is a case tracking tool that helps users monitor the status of their USCIS immigration cases. The app retrieves case status information through the official USCIS API, provides plain-English explanations, and sends notifications when changes are detected.

VisaWatch also provides Visa Bulletin information personalized to each user's case, translating complex immigration terms into simple language.

VisaWatch is not a law firm, immigration attorney, or legal service. The information provided through the Service is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.
