Just found some interesting info and thought id share:

Deciphering USCIS Case Receipt Number

Whenever you a file a petition (such as I-485, Adjustment of Status) with USCIS, you get a Receipt Notice[1] (Notice of

Action - Form I797-C) that has a 'Receipt Number'. The characters in the receipt number has significance. Actual meaning of

such characters depends upon the software system by USCIS to process the case.

CLAIMS3 - LAN Version

Example of such receipt number is

EAC 08 015 50023

First three letters represent the service center received the case.

There are four service centers:

EAC - Vermont Service Center[2] (Previous name: Eastern Adjudication Center).

LIN - Nebraska Service Center[3] (LIN refers to Lincoln, Nebraska).

SRC - Texas Service Center[4] (Previous name: Southern Regional Center).

WAC - California Service Center[5] (Previous name: Western Adjudication Center).

08 - Represents the fiscal year in which the case was received. Fiscal year 2008 runs from Oct 1, 2007 to Sep 30, 2008.

015 - Represents the computer workday in the fiscal year on which the fee was taken. 001 is October 1, the first working day

of the fiscal year. 015 represents 15th working day which was actually Oct 19, 2007. Computer work day is really a business

day and it excludes most Saturdays, all Sundays and holidays. Towards the end of the fiscal year in September, the number

goes up to around 265.

50023 - Represents the particular case number. The number always starts with 5 and it has a total of five digits.

Therefore, this receipt number means: this case was the 23rd case received in CLAIMS3 LAN on the 15th computer work day

of fiscal year 2008 at Vermont Service Center.

Most cases filed at USCIS have this type of receipt number, except few as described below.

You can track the status of this type of case online[6].

though this doesnt actually work perfectly and is a few years old it has shed some light ill use my numbers as an example

WAC 10 9 01 42632 = CSC 2010 July 01 42632

WAC 10 9 01 42633 = CSC 2010 July 01 42633

just something to keep us all thinking

Good one, TheSahlis!

In fact, that was an old Receipt# assignment.

Now it looks like in WAC 10 9 0142632:

WAC - CSC prefix

10 - fiscal year 2010

9 - some number

0142632 - sequence# of this fiscal year (This sequence is the mix of all petitions such as I-130, I-485, I-131, I-765, TPS etc.)

Yes, CSC is wrapping May filers. Based on this data, you guys are just another 2 months away. Wish it should be 1 month away!

if I am 2 months away, I might as well just move back to Colombia. My wife wont even be here till May or June at that rate considering how slow getting an interview has been for Colombians. Lots to look forward to...lol...

Apeters, how long it takes Colombia interview after NVC case completion?

Ugh CSC is so lame! No one has even looked at my application in 3 months!

Maybe someone will light a fire under their bums and they'll do 2 months of work in 2 weeks!

From what I saw in another thread, it is taking them 3+ months. You think you are done with waiting and then they make you wait all that time for the final part...gotta love it.

I have a question... we are slow getting ready to NVC stage... So after NVC generated number and got our e-mails should we wait some request from NVC about DS-3032 or just send it right away? and how we will know that they accept it?

Timol,

After both email ids registration with NVC, the beneficiary can email DS-3032 right away.

If IV fee invoice is generated, DS-3032 is accepted.

Timol, there is a guide for NVC to interview overview. Gather all required docs in advance to recoup the time lost in the USCIS, at least in NVC stage.
