hi
i am trying to find out my n400 receipt number. i had never got the notice from CSC (more than a month), however they promptly cashed my check (of course!). among all the numbers on the back i was able to locate WSC$001XXXXXX
This number cannot be tracked on the INS website.
I have gone trhough all of the posts on this forum regarding this matter but could not make a conclusion. Should I call INS and request a WAC-05- number?
Has anybody resolved this receipt number issue? please post your experience. thanks.

some of the cases (n400) status show on the INS website and some dont. may be you are one of them who cannot get the status to show online or receive the msg saying "your receipt number does not exist"... etc

btw i am one of those who get the msg saying "your receipt number does not exist" also.

also, why did you say you should call and request a WAC number? what make you think you need it (just wonder)?

i have a WSC number.
 
with wac number you can track what's going on. I saw some people calling the customer service department and based on their A# or WSC they are getting the WAC numbers...
Anyway, if you have WSC receipt - what do you do? just sit and wait until the second coming?

I was not aware of the differences between WSC and WAC.

Yes. I sat and waited for my FP came (in Apr) and my Interview NOA came (in May for July)

btw, if you request to have the WAC number, wouldn't they have to use the WAC number for your future NOA for your n400s?
would they even do that by request?
 
problem solved

WSC number was handwritten on the check but only last 7 digit of it, the first 6 symbols (including the WSC) are generic - WCS*00. Asterisk is important. In this format, I could find my case online and can track it. Whatever WSC number printed on the back of the check is internal INS tracking and is not my case number. Hope this helps everyone who did get the receipt from INS.
 
dks35 your're correct the number is on the front of the check , all you have to do is add WSC*00<number here> however call the 800 # since its been more then 30 days and you havent received your receipt notice yet ( this is not unusual ) and make sure they got "your address " right ..... and hang in there ;-)
