WAC numbers mean anything?

[deepak45]

Is there any meaning in the WAC numbers we get from USCIS? I see here some are posting their partial WAC numbers.

What does ND mean?

WAC number used to identify an applicant or petitioner's place in the USCIS fee receipt and case tracking system. WAC is the acronymic artifact of the Western Adjudication Center, now known as the California Service Center. The alphanumeric identifier is ten digits in the format WAC-NN-NNN-NNNNN. The first two digits are the current fiscal year, the second three digits are the sequentially-numbered working day of the fiscal year (known as the "Julian date") on which the case was originally receipted, and the final five digits are a serial number (which always begins with "5").

ND is notice date.

This question needs to be in the FAQ! It comes back every once in a while and is good information to have.

Use the Search people! It is not rocket science! Everyone uses a search engine in anycase!

You know what..anyone who has reached upto I 485 stage does know for sure what a WAC no. is. This dude is just trying to act dumb.

I was in two minds whether to respond to these personal attacks. Sure I knew what a WAC # is .... just didn't know how to break it into.

If you have some info to share... please do. No need for nasty comments. We are all adults here.

addendum

serial number not always starts with 5. It can be 6, 7, ..., this happens, if more than 10000 cases are filed per day.
