Approvals
- Thread starter GcMemphis
- Start date
a) All the TSC receipt numbers begin with "SRC"
b) No, you cannot tell if a particular I485 is employment based or not, but i believe the family based applications are submitted at the INS district office and not with the service center.
The question is can you find the case status of a family based I485 case using the online case status?
TRU, Jaxen .. anyone?

With the case status online you cannot find whether it is a family based/refugee/asylum or not.
I read in some forum that this is the case. I do not know the answer for sure.

I read somewhere on this forum that a '5' (see below) indicates employment based 485 application. Is that right?

U really can't say if number starting with 5 is an EB or FB application.
I forgot to mention to you all that sterday we had our FP done and i came across one UK family in INS office who got their 485 approved on June 6th 2003 and their ND was on May 10 2002, this family is on K1 visa (FYI).
They are really lucky to get their 485 approval within a year.

Although lot of 485 with a 5 are employment based, I dont think that is the case. It is supposed to be an incremental number generated by program.
I guess these scripts search for a word like "your application to adjust status" and then conclude that it is I485.
No it is not true that all family based applications are done only in local service centers. A few are done at the service center too.
And I think all of them are verifiable online.
So you cannot say whether a 485 is family based or not, merely by looking at the SRC or online status. However at the 485 stage all applications in a service center has to progress by the RD/ND. TSC has created a huge backlog and it has pushed most of the family based I485s to local office , but has not assigned enough workforce to handle the backlog and that is why all TSC folks are suffereing.
In fact employement based I485 cases constitute a mere 13-15 % of the whole set of GCs approved, maybe the reason why not enough ruckus is being created by lawyers and other immigration advocacy groups.

How To Read Service Center Notices?
Source immigration-law.com
Generally, the Service Centers generate the three different types of receipt notices: (1) Most of the cases other than listed in (2) or (3) system. (2) I-751 and I-829 cases. (3) N-400 Naturalization cases. Please remember that none of the numbers represent "physical receipt date." It rather represents the date the filing fees are receipted and data input to their computer system.
Illustration of System (1) Notice: LIN-99-001-50001: Most of visitors to this web site receive this system of notices.
VSC, TSC, NSC, CSC: People should know what these stand for: Vermont Service Center, Texas Service Center, Nebraska Service Center, California Service Center
99: Represents the fiscal year the case is receipted.
001: The first day of the fiscal year, 10/01/FY. It only counts so-called computer working days excluding week-ends and holidays. Generally the ending date of any FY is 265, 09/FY.
50001: The number "5" stands for symbol of this receipt notice system as opposed to other two systems. The whole number represents the particular case number. In this case, it is the first case receipted into the system on that particular workday.
The case number is also available on the rear side of the cancelled checks for filing fees paid.
People can check status of their cases electronically for this system.
Illustration of System (2) Notice: LIN-99-001-00001: This system is used for only certain limited types of cases. It can vary depending on each Service Center. This information is generated by mainframe and not accessible by public electronically, probably for protection of privacy. This case is distinguished by the first number "0" in the last five digits. Most of EB visitors of this web site do not receive this type of notice. The typical cases involved in this system is Petitions for Removal of Condition for Permanent Residence which are filed by married couple and investors after acquiring conditional permanent resident status for two years. This number can also be found on the rear side of the cancelled check.
Illustration of System (3) Notice: Naturalization Cases: LIN*000000006.
This type of notice is distinguished by two features: First astericks * rather than FY designation. Second, numbers are printed in a series. What this means is that receipt notices are generated stricly in series. The number on the Receipt Notice is called APP ID, application identification number.
This number can also be found on the backside of the cancelled check. However, people will also find a second number on the check, such as LIN$00000000(1), LIN$00000000(2). These numbers are not shown on the receipt notices. These numbers represent the number of checks receipted for filing fees: N-400 fees, FD 285 FP fee. These numbers are found only on the canelled checks. These numbers are called PAID ID, payment identification number.
When people check case status electronically, only APP ID number works.
However, people may also use PAID ID number when they check status with IIO "live person."
