Deciphering USCIS Case number

[manumoney 0]

Dear Friends,

As far as I know and as explained by USCIS:

The EAC number is determined as follows: for example my friend Rob's EAC number is 08 015 50023

I know that :

08 represents the month of the fiscal year that the application was received

015- represents the 15th working day of the Fiscal year (out of 265 working days)

50023- represents the case number

WHICH is always supposed to begin with 5- as I am told by some other websites

However, THE LAST 5 DIGITS of my case number begins with 1**** (5 digits, but starts with 1)

IS this usual? or unusual?

Can someone please explain this to me...... Thank you . God Bless!

first two digits are the YEAR not the month of the fiscal year... Government changes fiscal years in October. They began there 2008 fiscal year in October 2007. 2009 fiscaql year in October 2008... so and so forth. In addition there are quite few fewer 'working" days as well, with 52 weeks there are 104 weekend days and then I believe you need to add the 10+ federal holidays to that to arrive at the number (365 - 104 - 10?) = 250 ish days.

In your example of 08 015 would be the 15th working day of fiscal 2008. The case was assigned a number on or about October 19 or 20, 2007

the last number is the sequence number of all the petitions they received that particular day.
