Also, the first numbers after the letters "WAC" is the year received (so we are 13) and the next number is what business day that fiscal year it was recieved so on mine its 90 (Feb 1st NOA1) and yours will probably be 91 (if your Feb 2nd and as long as the next day wasnt a weekend) so If you want to get to a different day you just have to change the 3rd and 4th number after WAC.

Cheers.

This isn't true. I filed in October 2012 and my number starts with WAC1390......

you have to wait until you get "beyond normal processing times" until you can find out about any issues. but to clear up some of these questions.. these files are done in batches and not necessarily

What's the point in looking at other receipt numbers? Your NOA2 will come when it comes Why not spare yourself useless frustrations?

I'm guessing since you got accepted, you should be ok, but it's really hard to tell. I'd recommend possibly calling a tier 2 rep and asking them, but it may be hard to explain that you know this information because you use the online data to snoop in other people's cases innocent.gif

Yes thats just what I was thinking. How do you explain the point that you know your case is saying something different to everybody else in your group when we arent meant to know that. I feel that if I call they will just type in my receipt number and read to me exactly the same as it tells me when I look it up. Does anybody know of a good way to get USCIS to check that your file hasnt been misplaced or put in the wrong box etc or do you have to wait until its months overdue before they will go looking for you..?

I know! thats why Im a little surprised and annoyed to see someone behind me (WACxxxxxxx25) has already been approved! Are they really approving Feb '13 Filers already??

Also, the first numbers after the letters "WAC" is the year received (so we are 13) and the next number is what business day that fiscal year it was recieved so on mine its 90 (Feb 1st NOA1) and yours will probably be 91 (if your Feb 2nd and as long as the next day wasnt a weekend) so If you want to get to a different day you just have to change the 3rd and 4th number after WAC.

Cheers.

Not sure if that info is correct on your analogy of the dates......I also am WAC1390xxxxending in 853, but my noa1 was recieved Oct30 2012. So were about 16 others same time period. I went 120 forward and backward, out of the 16, 3 had been approved in the last 2 days..all our others still have "initial review" dated Oct 30.

FUNNY THING THOUGH...GOING FORWARD MORE THAN 100 CASES (APPROX TO 960 OR SO), THERE WERE ABOUT 8-10 I130 (IMMIGRANT PETITONS FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE, ORPHAN) ALL TOGETHER WHICH WERE REVIEWED OCT 22, 29, NOV 01, WHICH WERE DECLINED FOR NOT BEING PROPERLY FILLED OUT!...SO THEY (CIS) REVIEWED PETITIONS BACK THEN BUT NOT I 129F"S )?

I went forward a few, but am more curious to find those before me so I can start watching them when the time gets closer. If I start seeing after me get approved, that just won't do me any good in my own mental health whistling.gif

I've got lots of time to keep back tracking... I bet eventually I find that group of yours as you are merely a day before me

Just because they are before you doesn't really mean they will be processed first. I've had 3 behind me already approved this last Monday and 2 others getting a RFE. You want to find all same kind of petitions with the same NOA1 date as yours. all the best.

you have to wait until you get "beyond normal processing times" until you can find out about any issues. but to clear up some of these questions.. these files are done in batches and not necessarily according to dates received.. why is that? well there are several people dedicated to these specific file types and different people work faster than others and different files are easier to process than others... that just means that there will be deviations in receipt dates and approvals. spend some time researching the vj site and you will find how some people got their elected representatives to get involved even though they were within normal processing times.. it all depends on how you present your case to them and how willing they are to help

Yes, I am sure that the odds say that others after me will be approved before I am, but I'm going to try to limit knowing just how many of those they are. My goal in this whole process is to try to keep an even temperament until the Visa is in her possession, then let my emotions flow. I have no idea how successful I'll be, but watching the cases after me get approved is unlikely to help me with my goal, so I'll just do my best to watch those before me. The hardest part of this is avoiding Igor's list when the time starts to get close smile.gif

So I know its early days but for fun I thought I would look at the other I129Fs in my group by checking the receipt numbers around me on the USCIs website (a trick i learned on here) and it seems like my case is different to every single other I129F received that day at CSC.

Basically my group looks like this -

WACXXXXXXXX14 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX15 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX16 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX17 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX18 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX19 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX20 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX21 (OUR CASE) - The I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E) was transferred and is now being processed at a USCIS office.

WACXXXXXXXX22 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX23 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX24 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX25 - On April 22, 2013, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION

WACXXXXXXXX26 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX27 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX28 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX29 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX30 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX31 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX32 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX33 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

WACXXXXXXXX34 - On February 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed ...

Why has 19 out of 20 cases had their Alien registration numbers changed and ours has not? What does it mean by "was transferred and is being processed at a USCIS office" ?

If anyone can help answer this it would be much appreciated, Im starting to worry and feel rather left out!!

Sarah and Ben.

P.S Cant believe the case 4 places behind us has already been approved! - i.e Feb 1 2013 NOA1, April 22 2013 NOA2!! (expedite?)

Am a dec filer. I had the same scenario too but after 2 days they approved my petition. After seing that on i know it would be soon.

Nothing has changed with our case though, it has said that since the day I got the receipt number at the beginning of Feb. Its everyone else around us that has had the update about alien registration number.

Yeah I know I dont think it is right. I just got that idea from another webpage by googling "understanding your USCIS receipt number."

Thank you!!

You cant exaclty look at this on the website. I just typed it up like that for the sake of VJ. What I did was look up the case status of numbers directly before or after my number as they are just assigned sequentially. E.g my receipt number is WACxxxxxxx21, so i looked up WACxxxxxx22, 23, 24 etc. on the USCIS website to see what was happening with cases received at a similar time to mine.
