H008 on Your USCIS Case: What It Means
Usually means the case was approved. This community interpretation is not certain; confirm the outcome in your USCIS notice.
Sources for this meaningCommunity reading: Other applicants and case trackers consistently read it this way. It is a common interpretation, not a confirmed fact.
What it means
Applicants in the linked Lawfully discussion associate H008 with approval. CaseStatusAPI instead describes an internal clearance step. These differing interpretations are why the code alone cannot confirm your outcome.
What usually comes next
Read the decision notice for the outcome and any next steps.
Which forms it appears on
There is no confirmed form list for this code in the NIEM reference. Any forms listed below come from community reports and are not exhaustive.
A public source we cite shows H008 on Form I-130 and Form I-821D and Form I-485 and Form I-131 cases.
