NSC - Check Cashed, strange LIN #

[bongadi]

I saw the scanned copy of the our check(s).

1. The check showed up on 07/31/2006, but at the back has three dates..

A. On the back, right side where we endorse the checks
"For credit to the U.S. Treasury"
"DOJ/USINS...."
072406 ...
LIN$XXXXXXXX

B. In the middle (back of the check) : JUL 26 06

C. And the date on which showed up in the bank statement. : 07/31/06

2. The LIN # has a "dollar" $ sign (not an “asterisk” $) : LIN$XXXXXXXXX.

Is anyone else with similar LIN # ?

3. Of course, I cannot check my status on the site with this LIN#, I get an error.

4. Replacing the $ with a * takes me to someone else's status.

Hi there!

Ignore all numbers on the back of the check. They are for internal book keeping. On the front of the check, you should find a hand written number.

make it into LIN* and add enough '0' to make it 13 digits total. That will give you the receipt number.

Cheers!

I had same thing - on the back of the check there was WSC$xxxxxx number which was not valid. on the front of the check there was a 7 digit number. it required adding WSC*00 to make it into a receipt number. Make sure Nebraska still uses old code LIN instead of new (like California is not using WAC anymore for N-400, only WSC). And you will get you receipt notice in a couple of days!
good luck
