the meaning of the NVC case number

[classic 0]

I know this was posted last year, but I'm looking for the meaning of the case number. I know the 1st 3 letters stand for the adjudication center, the 1st 4 numbers stand for the year the application was accepted by NVC. I forgot what the last 6 numbers represent. All I remember is that it has something to do with the gregorian calendar. Does anyone know? Thanks!

hello VJ friends........

just found the mystery behind the NVC case no......

take for example MNL 2006 785 030

the first three letter is for the abbreviation of the consulate where the beneficiary will be interviewed.. like for Manila it will be MNL.......and for Bombay = BMB

the next four digits is of this year as we all know....... 2006

and the next three digits......substract 500 from the three digit number and the # you get will be the day on which your case was entered into NVC system......

for ex 785 = (785-500) = 285 that is 285th day of this year which will be OCT 12th, the date when your case was entered into NVC system....

and the last three digits is the # of the case which was enterd into NVC on that day....

i dont know whether this was told in any previous forums...........also its for CR1/IR1 dont know if its same for other type of visas.....

just came to know so thought to share through this forum......

Julian Calendar to calculate the day of the year. Perhaps easier on the eyes if you go to the webpage directly. However, I will post it here in case the website ever goes belly up.

First column within each month is for regular years. The second column is for leap years: 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020.

Hiii! Does NVC enter the case in the system the same day it is created? I played around with this. With my case it was 100% correct as my case is electronic but for some it was a different date.
