The RoC process seems to be unique among the other USCIS family petition processes. With all of the other application types, you get a receipt number that will work in the online tracking system with your NOA1. The I-751 is the only process I'm aware of where the NOA1 receipt number won't work and you only get the right tracking number with the biometrics notice.

It's kind of weird. I wonder if there's some kind of history there.

My receipt number from my Noa1 has never worked but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
