Invalid Application number in Biometrics Letter!!!

[First 1]

Hi guys,

 

In the Biometrics notice. There are two receipt numbers!

First one is "Application number" 

I-751 - WAC XXXXXXXXXX

The second one is "Application number 2"

CRI89 - WAC XXXXXXXXXX

 

I see most of ppl can track the second application number online, but not the first. it says "invalid"!!! 

 

Anyone has idea why it says invalid or what is the different between I-751 Application number and CRI89 Application number? which one should we always track to see the status of I-751? 

 

Thank you!

Should be the Application number 2 the one for CRI89. Application number 1 is a receipt number and application number 2 is for your actual application number for CRi89

This is a total uscis screw up. They don't want to fix it either. This is what i learned on google: I-89 is the old name for biometrics card, CR stands for conditional resident; hence cri-89 is conditional resident biometrics card. Before electronic fingerprinting (2007), people used to go to asc's with these cards following their I751 approvals, get their biometrics taken, then mail the cards back for card production. The 2nd receipt number was used to track these data cards. Electronic fingerprinting eliminated the need for this old style process but they didn't think it was necessary to change it and the two receipt numbers remained as is. Hope it helps clarify the two number business.

Your WAC number should have changed to CSB number for the interview after it went to NVC

the CSB is for casa embassy
