SRC# explanation?

[Zops]

I remember seeing a post that explained the receipt numbers. I did a search but the return was too broad and couldnt pinpoint the thread.

Can someone knowledgeable explain please what the numbers stand for?

SRC-12-345-6-7890

I know that '12' stand for the start of the fiscal year (03, 04, 05 etc).

Thanks!

From USCIS website:

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.
