What is a Scanner and how do you do it?

[Robin555]

What is this scanner that people are doing and it gives so much info? Is this BCIS in house program or can anyone do it?

Thanks!

Scanner is a Excel spreadsheet which one of the forum users has created. You can download the scanner and run it using Alt + F8. enter the information and voila, you will have a list of all apps with dates from the USCIS website. Basically it queries the USCIS website by receipt number and compiles the status into an excel spreadsheet.
Download the scanner from the scanner thread.

I would be very careful using this as it could be deemed to be an illegal search of their database. Causing you to get prosecuted and your application being denied. Is it really worth the risk?

Interesting...

Based on the Oct 1 start date and my I-140 number is LIN05094XXXXX. Why do I have a Feb 8 Notice Date on my I-797C? Is Jan 2nd, my Priority date? (The Priority Date spot on my I-797C, Notice of Action is blank.)

Thanks,

Robin

Don't do that guys.have patience guys. My lawyer suggested me not to do any enquiries like this. This might cause your case denial

I ran the scanner for about 20 cases and my IP has been blocked. I would be refraining from running the scanner as it' too high time to realise the case gets approved when NSC wants to.
