Hi everyone,

I find this site very useful as it shares concerns and also provides very useful information.

I have a question and if someone could help me.EAC No.s are always 13 digit.I would like to know that how is it generated abd what are the significance of the digits.I have seen that EAC no is generally witen like EAC-XXX-X-XXXXX (correct me if I am wrong please).Is there any explanation to the way it is generated or written.

Thanks and regards

EAC AB-CDE-NNNNN

EAC will tell you the service center
AB is physical year, 03 means physical year 2003

remember the fedral goverment physical years starts on oct 1 , cases from oct 1 2003 -sep 30 2003 will appear as 04

CDE means bussines day from oct 1



NNNNNN is generated by system which will assign you the number

Thanks
 
Hmm.. Erratum

The year mentioned in the previous post is called "fiscal" (i.e. relating to budget and finances), not "physical"...
 
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.
