目前，美国签证申请人可以通过两个方式查询到自己的签证申请进度，两者查询的进度和方式有所不同。
一个是签证受理状态查询：美国国务院开放的在线查询，另一个是护照状态查询CGI。
先说第一个（非移民签证类进度）：
进入查询页面，选择非移民签证，选择申请签证的领区和提交的DS160编码即可查询。请看附图：
如果输入了有效正确的DS160表明会显示你的签证状态。注意：部分更新较慢，显示政审的话不一定是政审。请在提交后3-5个工作日再查询比较稳妥。如果状态因需要补交材料而“暂时被拒，请您在材料补交后三至五个工作日后再查询。

Introducing the new CEAC Status Check. We hope you find it helpful.
Applicants for both immigrant visas and nonimmigrant visas can now check the status of their visa cases online by visiting the CEAC launch page () and using the new CEAC Status Check.
To use the CEAC Status Check, you just need to enter your CEAC Barcode and the interview location for NIV cases and the case number for IV cases. The check will return one of the following statuses.
