Positions in engineering, math, business and many technology fields fall under this “specialty occupation” umbrella.

A U.S. visa status indicates the current stage of an immigrant or non-immigrant visa application and can be tracked using the Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC) Status Check. This system allows applicants to stay informed about the progress of their visa processing without the need to visit or call embassies or consulates.
To use the Status Check, you need to enter your CEAC barcode for nonimmigrant visa (NIV) applications or the case number for immigrant visa (IV) applications. The CEAC Status Check provides real-time updates on visa applications after interviews and submissions of necessary documentation.
