If you are like me who have been anxiously waiting to hear back from USCIS about a form you've submitted, and is tired of checking on their website every hour, worry no more! Use this handy little script to check your status from commandline. If you'd like, borrow the few lines of code and have it send yourself daily test reminders, etc...
Happy hacking!
It's useful to check the status of your adjacent reciept numbers to get a general idea of how your application is moving compared to others. use the -n argument to enable it, pass it a integer to specify how many neighbours you want to check.
