Hi everyone,

I just noticed that the case number on the back of my check for the I-130 filing fee is slightly different than the number on my recently issued NOA1: the very last number in the sequence is off by one digit. The numbers ought to be exactly the same, shouldn't they? Could this be a typo or some sort of mix-up on USCIS's part?

When I go online; I get an error message when I try both numbers. I just received my NOA1, and I don’t expect to be in the system for quite some time as many have been experiencing delays with viewing the case status online. I'll call the Customer Service (mis)information line tomorrow, but I wanted to know whether anyone has ever seen such a thing before . . . .

Very Concerned,

Very Concerned,

One of my online friends from here had the same situation, but give it some time to get into the system, ours has been a month but not overly concerned about that - but do go by what is actually on your NOA1 I797 and best of luck to you.

Cheers

Susie

Thank you, SusieK. I actually just read a post by Annie&Tim under the topic "How long until Case # appears online?", and they mentioned that their numbers were also off by a digit, and that the NOA1 number worked for them when checking the case status on-line. So, it appears that the discrepancy in numbers is not a cause for major concern.

Very Concerned,

Don't even worry about it!!! The same thing happened to me, the numbers were also off by one digit. Your Receipt Number printed on your receipt notice is the one that counts (don't worry about the one behind the check). My case took 3 weeks to show online, but with things being so slow at USCIS it may take even longer for you.

My check is cashed but I still don't have the I-797. My congressman got back to me with a Receipt # that he got from USCIS and it is off by one digit then what I have on back of my canceled check.
