My number is also not showing up on the system yet. I guess it might take a few more days.

I've been doing some googling on this issue of the receipt number from the back of the check not being valid... and apparently this issue has happened before at the TSC....

Look very carefully at the letters that they send you regarding this case... if our cases follow the pattern of previous cases with this issue, some will have the number from the check on them... but you'll get at lease one with a different receipt number on - and THAT receipt number will work and allow you to track the case... keep a note of both numbers, but only one of them will be valid to check your case status.

I have no idea WHY this problem occurs, my research didnt tell me that, just that this happens sometimes... perhaps that's what the VLC means lol "Very Likely Confused" lol

Was it a different Receipt number?

[Kathryn41 3,205]

From my understanding, there will be a different receipt number given with the biometrics and that will be the number that we will be able to look up. Yes, the SRC number doesn't bring any results but I wasn't expecting it to. I was waiting for the biometrics letter to give me the number that I can search for online.

There are no numbers, no stamps, no nothing on the front of the cheque other than what we put there ourselves.

On the back of the check with the cheque held longways, at the top is hand written: "SRC**********" (* are my numbers). Immediately below, also hand written is "TDB02" followed by "I-751", then a large stamp of "Mar 10, 2008."

Immediately below that are a number of stamps. The first is a number 1531 ?? 809. Stamped diagonally over top of that number making it somewhat illegible is the 7 line stamp of: "Pay to the order of Bank of America #11100000V?, For Deposit Only, DHS Citizenship & Immigration SVCS, TSO-MC 77001-0103, 377222???."

Then there is a separate 2 line stamp of "10-03-2008" and underneath, "11100000??? ".

Finally, aligned with the bottom of the cheque longways is another stamp of 3 lines: "Bank of America, 11100025 E2121 02 011, 03 10 08"

Our cheque was also on a Bank of America account.

Hello Kathryn41,

I was waiting for your reply on the coded numbers you got with your check. I also have TDB02 with the I-751 written on it and March 06, 2008. Above all this I have the initials of FC.

Hmmmm odd.... so some have TDB02 and others have VLC02.... now i really wonder what that means!

[MaryandMian 1]

Me too Jamie, I have googled it and cannot find any information and was wondering if anyone else would have any other code other than the VLC the others posted.

LOL... I think you are all reading WAY too much into the stamps on the back of the checks

Wait for your biometrics letter, then you'll know exactly where your case stands.

Maybe we can figure it out based on what happens to us! lol

Hey Babsi! did you have a TDB code or a VLC code?

Maybe his was a PSF (Process super fast) code lol

Hey spiderette! you let us fuss about it if we want to!

Gotta have something to do while we wait! and you know how everyone LOVES a conspiracy theory!

LOL, that's what I was thinking with all these numbers, it could be a treasure map right there on the back of your check!!!

X marks the spot! yeah! we go there and dig.... and what do we find? a bunch of TSC transfers!!!!!!!

[Shari 6]

As of 10am this morning the check was not showing cashed on my account... however, I just checked this afternoon after these posts and guess what? Its showing on my account now saying it came out yesterday! And was apparently deposited on 3/11.

One odd thing though - I have the SRC number on the back, but when I try to look it up online, the system tells me that its not in the system.... odd! anyone else having that trouble?

My number is also not showing up on the system yet. I guess it might take a few more days.

Jamieswith and Kathryn41: Any luck with your numbers in the system yet? I just checked ours again this morning and it is still not showing up. It's been 7 days since our check was cashed. Boo hoo.

Nope... I'm guessing like others we won't have a trackable number until we get the biometrics appointment... IF we get the biometrics appointment lol

Guys...

Part of the numbers on the back are the USCIS bank account number and part are the bank clearing house numbers and part are your bank's numbers and so on! Also, some dates are clearing house information and select recording dates as well!

Don't try to read a lot into the numbers here....

We mailed to TSC and our check was cashed about 7-10 days later in California. The front of the check had a hand-written set numbers with WAC xxx xxxxxxxxxx etc. on it which showed it had been transferred to the California Service Center. We then received our NOA with the same set of alpha-numeric letters on it. However, in 100% of the cases this tracking code CANNOT be used for anything. You will receive your Biometrics appointment letter (second NOA) and this document will have the actual track-able code on it!!!! Furthermore, the I-751 will be converted to a CRI89 code as well ......

Hope this information helps!

Good luck to all!

Looks like my computer had an anurysm! Sorry for the three-pete!

Richard,

Thanks for your reply, please note the following though:

1) We're not talking about the account number, or clearing house / routing numbers etc... those are printed on - that's not what we're talking about - so please don't think us to be that dumb.

2) We (like 99.99% of people) do not have anything written on the front of the cheque that we did not write there ourselves

3) We do have an INS reference number (in our case SRCXXXXXXXX since we filed in Texas, when you file in texas your number begins with SRC)

You'll excuse the confusion, but when we last filed (in the old I-130 days) the number on the back of the check WAS valid and WAS trackable... many of us are having a hard time dealing with USCIS hiding our case status from us! lol We're all impatient and want to be clicking refresh on that tracking page 10 times per day NOW!!! lol

We also want to know if our case has been transferred, since we have the SRC number which indicates Texas... but texas is so slow we really really want a transfer! lol
