Strange, because we filed before you.   Receipt date is 12/8/2021, and we got our biometrics reuse notice on 12/29/2021.

That's what I was just thinking. Not contradicting anyone, but I thought the first four made more sense!

Ours is 65xxx.

You would put LIN2290065000 in CaseTrack. I ran it for LIN2290065000 - LIN2290065499 and see that one case was approved on January 11th.

 

To find the range your service center is working on, search in increments od 500, e.g. LIN2290064500, LIN2290064000, LIN2290063500 etc until you find a range where a lot of I-751s have decisions, approvals, RFEs or denials around today or a week earlier.

So your first four and last five are both 23xx(x)?   What is your receipt date?

 

And what happens when you type in the 23xxx range?

That might be some shenanigans / workaround by service center if they have too many applications. Maybe they allocate them not strictly sequentially. But if you search cases around yours, you'll often get the gist of when they're filed. Some of them would show "case received" status and date from 2021. That's how you know what "batch" it is.

@Rocio0010 @Jorgedig actually, I think I know what it is. Jorgedig filed in 2021 and Rocio in 2022. The first digits encrypt the year and month of filing. 

The last five (or more?) get reset every year, with first case of the year ending 00000 or something like that. So it's perfectly normal.

Makes sense!   Thanks for the tips ❤️

 No, the first four are 222901 which I’m thinking is the year (22), 29 the day it was received, and 01 the month. RD is 22-01-29. I’m trying the 23*** range now

LOL that wouldn't fit ours, which is 229000.  RD 12/08/2021.  Must be encrypted like OldUser said.

I'm wondering if it might be worth creating some sort of shared spreadsheet that snapshots these over time for different service centers. It seems like you're doing it manually @OldUser and I wonder if it would be helpful for folks to be able to see where/when cases are being processed.

From what I've read, it starts with the year...

22 would be 2022.

Then the next three are the day in the year, so 290 would be day #290 in the yearly cycle. 

However, the year for USCIS runs from Oct 1 - Sept 30. So day 001 is October 1.

 

Finally, I think some of forms don't operate on the day basis, such as i-751. I believe this has a unique prefix, 900.

 

Then final 5 are the specific case number. e.g. 25000

 

So 2290000001 should have been received Oct 1 2021

Good theory, I like it.

So everyone on this specific thread "November 2021 ROC Filers" who actually filed in Oct/November of '21 should start with 22. Our case number also should be relatively low. For example mine is 5xxx, which for DC is very early in the year case load. YSC atually needs 6 of the digits for all of the case load. You can check from prior year: 210000 is getting near the end of case year 21. 

 

For example ysc2190210010 is an i-751 that was received Sept 7 2021.

Then ysc2290001000 is a i-751 that was received Oct 7 2021.
