I filled a I-130 Petition for my wife for an IR1 Visa. Will the receipt number I receive via text be the number that stays with my case. if so why are my first 3 letters YSC shouldn't it be the letters for a service center. what center is YSC ? i have looked but have yet to find it.

Hmm, try entering it into the USCIS case status site: https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do

Use different variations: 'Y' and 'V'

Thanks Pedrita. its just that I'm confused because some sites refer to it as PSC. but then I read others that say its YSC..

YSC is Potomac Service Center. Their recently opened one.

I got this info from a Google search in which I looked for "YSC service center uscis".

No problem!

I was doing some further search and it sounds to me like all already existent Service Centers had dual acronyms at first (their "official" name and the way people used to call each of them).

Take a look at this link to an old webpage: http://www.***removed***/immigration/decipher-uscis-case-receipt-number.html

For example, California Service Center still keeps its old official acronym. My receipt was WAC #### for "Western Adjucation Center", its former denomination.

I imagine that for it being new, not everything is already 100% set up. I guess YSC is the initials for their official name and PSC their "popular" name.

I hope it helps to calm your heart down a little. Everything will be fine :)

so I have my Receipt Number from Potomac but after 19 days it is still not recognized by the status tool. Is that normal?

when will I be able to get info through the USCIS website? How much longer should I wait to get my receipt number recognized by the USCIS website? Should I call? I know that it is a long process for my Spouses IR1 but I would feel better if the Tool recognized my number. sorry just worried.

You have the same filing date as mine. Mine isn't in the system as well. The last receipt number that was entered from Potomac was a petition filed January 19th receipt # YSC1690003505. Any receipt number after that shows an error message when entered. They seem to take a long time to update their system :/

Thank you for replying. And im sorry that you are also experiencing this. But at least now I know its not just me. We should keep in touch and keep each other informed about our journeys. May God grant us quick and easy passage through this bureacracy.

OKay, I'm in the same situation as you guys, they recieved my file on Feb 20th and now I got a receipt # YSC. Not working on their website neither, I guess we just have to wait? Is that my case number though?
