[JojoandTomas 213]

Thanks for all the info @Cmptrsdeal I will definitely bookmark that page. 

 

@Greenbaum It is weird they didn't text or email. It's like, why even have the option to include it if you won't use it you know

I couldn't agree more. It must be a software program that the IO must select the item to send one (email) or the other (snail mail) notification and they forget to make the selection.  Oy Vey!

For people still waiting for the NOA1, I sent mine on July 8th (arrived at lockbox noon on July 9th) and I received a text notification on July 17. It seems like the wait time is around a week to eleven days

If you ever need to call in regarding your case, you will need  your Receipt number and to check your status also. 

 

Here's alittle bit of interesting info about the Receipt number:

 

Each of the 13 digits in a USCIS receipt number has a specific purpose. Here’s how to read a USCIS receipt number.

Let’s take an example receipt number to explain it:

WAC 16 012 50960

Service Center (WAC 16 012 50960)
Every receipt number begins with three letters that represent the service center that received the case. There are several codes for USCIS service centers. They include:

CSC – California Service Center
EAC – Eastern Adjudication Center (now known as Vermont Service Center)
IOE – ELIS (efile)
LIN – Lincoln Service Center (now known as Nebraska Service Center)
MSC – Missouri Service Center (now known as National Benefits Center)
NBC – National Benefits Center
NSC – Nebraska Service Center
SRC – Southern Regional Center (now known as Texas Service Center)
TSC – Texas Service Center
VSC – Vermont Service Center
WAC – Western Adjudication Center (now known as California Service Center)

 

Fiscal Year (WAC 16 012 50960)
The second set of digits represent the fiscal year that the case was received. Government agencies use a fiscal year that is different from the calendar year. It begins on October 1 and ends on September 30. So our example case number was opened between October 2016 and September 2016.

 

Computer Workday (WAC 16 012 50960)
The third set of digits indicates the computer workday that the case was opened. The computer workday is basically the same thing as a workday. Therefore it excludes most weekends and holidays. Our example case was opened on the 12th workday of the 2016 fiscal year (October 18, 2016).

 

Case Number (WAC 16 012 50960)
The final set of five digits is the case number.

 

 

 

AND LASTLY, CHECKING YOUR STATUS YOURSELF:

 

 

Go to this site:

https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do

 

Enter the entire 13-digit number without spaces and click the "Check Status" button and view the results.

This all makes sense when I look at my receipt number, except the Computer Workday is 901 ?! 

 

Does that mean that the workdays rollover across fiscal years until it reaches 999 and then resets?

I noticed that too.  Not quite sure what the 1 signifies.  Maybe @Greenbaum might know.  I was thinking maybe the case numbers are now 6 digits and that's what the 1 is apart of.  Again, not sure.

I am not sure what is going on here. If I had the I-797 Notice of Action, I might be able to ascertain what is being represented by the 901 reference. @christmascowboy, you may want to revisit your case number to insure you have divided the number correctly to determine your dates of action and that you have the correct amount of digits. Maybe you copied the number wrong from when you received it on the telephone call. Just a thought.

Nope, I promise you I’ve copied it correctly from the photograph of the I-797.

 

WAC 20901XXXXX

 

If the number was down at 000 in October 2016, that would seem to tally with July 2020 being around 900 working days later, Wouldn’t it?

I have a 900 from filing in March.  That information is not accurate.

Obviously it's outdated, lol  the info came out when I filed last and that was back a few yrs ago, so it's possible.   Only explanation I can think of.

Just received a text message that my case was received!! I'm so excited 😁

I'm curious, do only specific cases go to the Texas service center? I live in Texas and mine went to WAC

Please note that there is a distinction between a lockbox facility and a service center.  Many USCIS cases must be filed at a designated “lockbox” facility, Texas for the I-129f, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) which will be indicated in the relevant form’s instructions.  A lockbox facility is essentially a case intake processing center – it is staffed by people who do initial case review such as checking whether all forms and filing fees are included.   Assuming the case is properly filed, the lockbox staff would generate a receipt notice (WAC#), assign the case to the appropriate service center, I-129f, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) cases will have their case file forwarded for further review and adjudication by the California service center (designated as CSC).
