"PP" number plays an important role in EAC-02-ddd-PPxxx

D

Dear_Frank

Registered Users (C)
I find out some receipt numbers play a very important role in a very slow process flow today.

for ex. EAC-02-ddd-PPxxx
here "02-ddd" means the data was input into INS database on the working day counted from 10/01/2002. and PP is process priority number, xxx is a sequence number. so if the date "ddd" belongs to the same month and its related RD also belongs to the same month, the first "P" letter will determine which group your case will be assigned to, the second "P" letter is based on your priority. In this way, EAC-02-062-51xxx will be approved faster than EAC-02-055-54xxx even though the second one got a much earlier RD. If you receipt number is EAC-02-ddd-56xxx, your case will be pending for much longer that you expected.

What if your Process Priority number?
 
My PP numbers are 52.

I thought that the first P is a symbol for if this is an electronic file or not. Today all first Ps should be a 5 and 5 stands for electronic file. The second P, I thought, is simply the thousand place of the sequence number, but I think you could be onto something here because my case is EB2 and my second P is a 2 also.

Anyone else want to share if their second P number is related to their employment based number (EB1-3)?
 
Actually, my I-140 submitted last year was EAC-02-118-51***, I was in NIW, not any faster than other friends.

I got approved anyway and I submitted my 485 3/5/03, I got my finger print notice date 4/2/03, and my 485 case number is EAC-03-13*-50***, but I am EB2, NIW.

Based on my case, I think frank's rationale may or may not be true, or maybe only applicable to limited range of 485 waiter.

thanks,

Never mind, I compared several EAC numbers on rupnet to see if the second P number corresponds to the EB category but it doesn't. I think that all four numbers are simply sequence.
 
My statistic summary for EAC-02-ddd-PPxxx is only applied to 485 filer because the data I collected is from 485 approval.
 
hi, frank, you really made me happy, does my case number eac-03-13*-50*** very high priority? If so, I will treat you in the best restaurent in New York City!:D

thanks,

This logic does not work in my case

I am EB1 and my digit as mentioned above is 4. There has to be some other logic to this numbering system.
 
dear all,

if your second P# is 2 or less, you are lucky. others do feel upset because it just a statistic result, not real world.

if some one has a script, run it on some little bit earlier ND data to verify my conclusion.
 
Re: This logic does not work in my case

Agreed. My I-140 (EB1) pp was 54 and got approved in less than 2 months in early 2002. My I-485 pp is 52 - waiting to see what pp's get approved first.

no logic, unfortunately, it's solely based on the order which they entered your case into database on that day, it's ticketed based on order, not on priority. But usually, there're more 485 cases in 50, 51, 52 than 53, or 54.... Doesn't mean they will be picked earlier though. I think it's pure luck that your case being picked up. If they are processing a certain month, there's no order at all whose case will be processed first, it's totally random.
 
dear Frank, I have a question. Why this rule onl applies to 485. 140 should follow the rule if it is general. Or maybe 140 has so many different categories? 485 are all the same?

My 140 was a disaster though, extremely slow, although I was 519**.

By the way, how did you find out this rule? By comparing lots of case approvals?

Thanks, anyway,

From the horse's mouth

It is just a sequence starting from 0001. Irrespective of 485, 140, EAD, AP, H1, etc., you cannot hold it down to the 100s as too many cases are filed in a day.

The application receipt number (for example: LIN*00006) is the case/receipt number. This is strictly sequential and does not change with the fiscal year.

Chances are the earlier numbers might get earlier approval but not guaranteed. Obviously, during allocation to IIOs, 50 comes before 51 and 51 comes before 52 and so on and allocated in that order within the same RDs. But, there is no specific significance to it but simple ascending order.

EAC-02-052-50XXXX
RD: 10/19/01
FP: 03/29/02
NJ-EB3-INDIA
 
the second P# is not based on EB1/2/3. it could be a sequence number. but why the less P# you get, the more lucky you are, maybe the file or something with less P# is located in a place where the lazy IIO easier to touch. REMEMBER, my analysis is based on the data, not on the policy. so "having higher priority" just means "having more chance to get earlier approval than the others", but not guarantee it.

any way, just a guess, but obviously, if the RD is in the same month, most of 51xxx guys would get approval earlier than 54xxx even 51xxx guys have later ND than 54xxx guys.
 
Today's approval:

eac0205551875
eac0205552007
eac0205650530
eac0205651284
eac0205651297
eac0205651327
eac0205751845
eac0205751894

seems "PP" all are P is 5 and P <3,
 
He is my thoery

You need to be lucky to get the approval. INS/BCIS do not follow a sequence and there is no rhyme or reason for either approval or the cases that are pending. I think this forum has done extensive research on the EAC number. If the same research can be done on Power Lotto; one of us will win real big!

Hey it is possible. After all Lottery depends on luck too! Try cracking it.

what do you think?
 
 
485 Operating procedures

Dear_Frank may be right, I am not sure.

But I found this interesting Operating procedures document on the web that says that the processing order is decided by the Filing / Received date which is different from Receipt Date.
