Hi folks,

I just got a copy of my Receipt notice frim my lawyer. My info:

RD: 10/28/03
ND: 10/31/03

My question:

What does the Receipt # mean??

Example: EAC 04-012-XXXXX

My understanding is that EAC stands for the Service Center

First 2 letters is the Year

The next 3 letters are the day of the year when the info was entered in the system

The last 5 letters are a randomly generated case #.

If the above is correct then WHY DID I GET A RECEIPT NOTICE WITH 04 (2004) AS THE YEAR IN THE RECEIPT NUMBER (AS ABOVE) EVEN THOUGH MY APPLICATION WAS RECEIVED IN OCT. '03????

Can anyone shed any light? has anyone received the same type of #??

Thanks.

Sanjay,

The fiscal year for BCIS runs from 1st October to 30th September. Your petition was received on the 28th Octobe which falls under Fiscal year 2004. And that's the reason the first two digits has a 04.

Hope this helps.

Sanjay,

Where did you apply ur 140 and was it concurrent?

BC my case was also received on Oct 27th and did not got any response of reciept date yet.

When did you got your receipt #. Did you got it directly or your lawyer notified you?

Thanks for the response in advance

My I140 was sent to VSC. I asked my lawyer for a copy and he gave me a copy. I received it on Nov. 5.
