the mystery behind NVC # explained....

[rizthomson 3]

hello VJ friends........

just found the mystery behind the NVC case no......

take for example MNL 2006 785 030

the first three letter is for the abbreviation of the consulate where the beneficiary will be interviewed.. like for Manila it will be MNL.......and for Bombay = BMB

the next four digits is of this year as we all know....... 2006

and the next three digits......substract 500 from the three digit number and the # you get will be the day on which your case was entered into NVC system......

for ex 785 = (785-500) = 285 that is 285th day of this year which will be OCT 12th, the date when your case was entered into NVC system....

and the last three digits is the # of the case which was enterd into NVC on that day....

i dont know whether this was told in any previous forums...........also its for CR1/IR1 dont know if its same for other type of visas.....

just came to know so thought to share through this forum......

my best wishes to you all 4 ur remaining visa journey..........

It is not a mystery. It had been discussed before, but I forgot at which forum. But there is nothing wrong discussing it again, as it can be helpful to some.

Regardless of whether it has been discussed and posted before, it never hurts for it to be posted again as there will always be members who dont know the meaning of the NVC case number and will appreciate your posting this.

CROSS REFERNCING THE OTHER THREAD. I POSTED A PICTURE OF THE JULIAN CALENDAR FOR CALCULATIONS ON THAT THREAD. NO MORE ROOM IN MY ATTACHMENT QUOTA TO POST IT AGAIN OVER HERE FOR FOLKS.

Julian Calendar to calculate the day of the year. Perhaps easier on the eyes if you go to the webpage directly.

First column within each month is for regular years. The second column is for leap years: 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020.

Kinda like the secret handshake that we all share--we can wink at each other knowing that the outside world doesn't have a clue and that this small circle shares an intense degree of friendship and knowledge
