EAC Number Inpterpretion

EAC

xx is fiscal year
yyy is COMPUTER working date
zzzzz is a case#

I have just read it from USCIS web site

However, I have just received a response from Senator's office said that my RD is 02/12/2002 with EAC 02 109 5xxxx. How could it be in Feb month? My lawyer told me that my RD is 01/28/2003?

Which RD should I take it from here?

Thank you for your comments

Your lawyer should know the difference between RD and ND...Count from October 1st (fiscal year) minus the weekends and holidays and be happy.

Also sign the PETITION..
 
Meaning of Your Receipt:

Your Receipt:
After filing your application and paying your fees, you will receive a receipt number. These receipt numbers are very important. Please use these numbers whenever you write to us about your case, and whenever you contact us to find out about the status of your case.

The numbering system used on receipts has significance.

For most applications filed at a Service Center, your receipt may look like this: LIN 99 001 50001. In this example, the LIN represents the Nebraska Service Center, where the application was initially received into the electronic system. Cases that are filed at or received by another Service Center but processed at the NSC will generally carry the designation of the originating Service Center:

LIN = Lincoln, Nebraska or NSC
EAC = St. Albans, Vermont or VSC
SRC= Dallas, Texas or TSC
WAC= Laguna Niguel, California or CSC

In the example above:

The 99 represents the fiscal year (October 1, through September 30) in which the case was received.
The 001 represents the computer workday in the fiscal year on which the fee was taken.
The 50001 represents the particular case number.
For cases with particular case numbers starting with a 5, electronic case status information is available (see Finding the Status of Your Case, below). For cases with particular case numbers starting with a 0, you must write to request the status of your case.

The way I read the paragraph (documented below) at the BCIS website is that last five digits represents the case number and if the case information is available online then the first of the last digits start with a '5', leaving only last four digits for a unique case receipt number.

Therefore BCIS can only accept 10,000 (10K) case on a given day.

The 50001 represents the particular case number.
For cases with particular case numbers starting with a 5, electronic case status information is available (see Finding the Status of Your Case, below). For cases with particular case numbers starting with a 0, you must write to request the status of your case
