Once the H1B lottery/random selection is done for any year, the selected applicant’s employer would have got receipt numbers from USCIS. If your employer shares that number with you, you may wonder : What does the H1B case number meanĀ ? What do I do with it ? Can I use it to track my case status ?
We see a quite a bit of cases in ourĀ H1B Visa Tracker, that they don’t know the filing center. If you understand the H1B receipt number, you would easily know that and update the same on the tracker to have accurate reporting.Ā This article focuses on helping you understand the H1B Visa receipt number and how you can use it to track your case status online.
What is the H1B Case number meaning? Is there a format?
Firstly, H1B Case number is a unique number given by USCIS for tracking a particular case. Think of it like Social Security Number for an Individual in the US or a Hall Ticket Number for a student. The H1B case number is unique for a case. Ā It is a 13 Character Number and usually starts with a three Alphabets. It follows a certain format as shown below. You can break it down in the below format of
XXXāXXāXXXāXXXXX
The first three characters indicate the filing center of the H1B petition.Ā It would be one of the below:
- EAC ā Vermont Service Center (old name: Eastern Adjudication Center).
- WAC ā California Service Center (old name: Western Adjudication Center).
- Ā Sample format:Ā EAC- XXāXXXāXXXXX
The second two characters indicate the filing year. Ā It does not indicate the Fiscal year number. It is the actual year the petition was filed.
- For H1B Visa 2019 Fiscal year, it would be 18 as you are filing in year 2018.
- Sample Format :Ā EAC ā 18 – XXXāXXXXX
The next three characters indicate the computer working day of the USCIS fiscal year. It starts from October 1st of the fiscal year.Ā So, for this fiscal year starting from October 1st of 2018, it would be 001 for Oct 1st, it increments for each working day and does NOT include Weekends and Holiday. Ā This day corresponds to the day your H1B Case was receipted by USCIS, it does NOT indicate when they received your petition or filed.
- Ā If your case was receipted on April 10th, it would be 130.
- Sample format :Ā EAC ā 18 ā 130 – XXXXX
The next five characters indicate the case number that was assigned to your case on a particular day.Ā For H1B Visa cases, it would typically start with a 5. USCIS typically assigns case numbers for all types of cases processed on a particular day. That’s the reason, we mentioned in article Misconceptions of H1B Processing, that you should not get confused with the case number increments saying that so many Ā H1B cases were processed on a particular day.
- Sample format :Ā EAC ā 18 ā 30 ā 51344
Ā What do I do with H1B Case Number ? Can I track status Ā ?
H1B Case number is issued by USCIS to a petitioner to track the status of their case. You can use the H1B Visa Case number to track your petition status.Ā All you need do is go to the USCIS website at URL : https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.doĀ and enter your case number there and click on check status. You will get the status information of your H1B petition.
Sign up for Automatic Email and SMS Updates forĀ H1B Case Status Tracking
It can be frustrating to go to USCIS website and check the case status every day right ? USCIS has given a nice facility to get automatic updates. USCIS allows you to track your Ā H1B Case status by signing up for automatic alerts via email and SMS. You can register an account at https://egov.uscis.govĀ and then enter your details and case number information to get automatic updates.
Any questions ? Comments ?
Hi, I’m on F1 visa. I have filed for H1B visa through consular processing. If I do premium now n gets approval Can I cross the country get stamped and come back or do I have to wait till October 1st ?
You can only be on H1B status from October 1st. You can enter US on H1B only 10 days before October 1st. So, technically, you cannot enter on H1B before that.
Is there any way of checking that the receipt number my lawyers supplied belongs to me? I have heard a bunch of cases where lawyers mess up and give out the wrong receipt numbers so just wanted to make sure that wasn’t the case.
Well, there is no way to verify online. The only way to verify is ask them to send a scan copy of the receipt to see the name on it.
hello team,
I have filed my h1b visa..when does my employer know about my receipt number.
thanks in advance.
It can take anywhere from few weeks after H1B lottery date, which is around April 2nn week, to couple of months. Usually by June they should get it.

Hello team,
My employer gave me a receipt number after filing my h1b. I got rfe and my empoyer sent the additional documents to USCIS.
This time my employer gavrba different receipt number.i am confused. Could someone help me to understand??
Dear sir,
I applied H1B for this year 2016 via a consultancy in us and I got picked in the lottery as per update from that cosultancy . But I got rfe and the cosultancy guy is saying to withdraw the application.
What is the probability that he might applied H1B for me in first place? He is not sharing an my info about the case number and whenever I ask him the case number he seem to fooling me around with his words and he hasn’t shared the case number yet n hence I started getting doubts.
How can I get the case number from him?
How can I change to some other company in case if it’s been applied for sure??
Do I have a option of threatening him to get the details in what ways??
Kindly advise me it’s been a restless night for while and I am not able to let this oppertunity to skip through m hands.
Thanks
Edwar
Thanks for your informative website.
When (what year) did the USCIS start issuing these receipt and case no.s for anyone to check on their website with?
My case was apparently rejected. The “reject case number” is VRN17110*****. But when I enter it at https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/Dashboard.do or call USCIS and enter it through the phone, it’s not recognized.
What I want to do is corroborate that my lawyer did indeed send the petition to USCIS. How can I do this?
Shouldn’t my prospective employer be receiving a letter or email directly from USCIS about my case?
Tomas,
Lottery rejection numbers are not searchable on USCIS site like receipt numbers. You can ask for rejection letter copy from employer. That would have your name, employer name and this rejection number and would prove that petition was indeed applied but didn’t make through the lottery.
Hi ,
Can any one tell me is there a time slot by when the Visa approval needs to be done , I am still awating for Approval ?
I just received a receipt number (begins with EAC). Does this mean that my application made it through the lottery?
Thanks!
Juan,
Yes, you made through the lottery. You can use that EAC# to track your status online on USCIS site.
That’s great news! Thank you for the quick reply!
Hi! I just got a receipt note with the receipt number starting with WAC-16-….
Does that mean I was selected? Is there a chance that after processing the case is denied? I`m happy but scared of getting my hopes too high… =)
Ana,
Yes, you made through the lottery. However, every petition has a chance of rejection. Selection <> approval.
Hi ,
Can anyone please give us an idea how is the case number(13 digit) will look like for this year H1B.
For eg- WAC16(Days)(last 5 digits)
Hello Saurabh,

On USCIS Website when I tried to check the status of my H1B application I found below result. But I am not sure about the meaning of the status. Is it selected ,rejected or pending in the lottery process.
I did not get any mail regarding selection or rejection.
Below is what I can see in my Status

Hi
Did your case moved any further or is it still the same ?
I haven’t received my receipt number yet.what does it mean? Please reply
Wait bro….wait
The receipt number is a unique 13-character identifier that USCIS provides for each application or petition it receives. The agency uses it to identify and track its cases.
The receipt number consists of three letters-for example, EAC, WAC, LIN, SRC, NBC, MSC or IOE-and 10 numbers. You can find it on notices of action USCIS has sent you.
Omit dashes (“-“) when entering a receipt number. However, you can include all other characters, including asterisks (“*”), if they are listed on your notice as part of the receipt number.
How do I get the case number? My petitioner says I cannot track my status until a receipt is issued by USCIS
Can someone help me with this. I checked my case status using the USCIS receipt number EAC1513XXXXXX and got the below mentioned message. I am not sure about the case status. Is it that my application has been selected in the lottery or something else?
Case Was Received and A Receipt Notice Was Emailed
On April 20, 2015, we received your Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, Receipt Number EAC1513XXXXXX, and emailed you a receipt notice.

Hi,
I have got I-129 and got Approval notice.This I got during 10/01/2009 to 09/01/2012, but I didn’t go for stamping for some reason.
I have applied again under CAP exemption and got receipt number EAC-15-XXX-XXXXX. So how long I need to wait for to get approval notice as I have applied under Cap exemption.
Please Suggest…!!
Rose,
My case was similar i applied in 2014, till today also initial review , i had previous approval ( under exemption), It is purely luck i believe. If your applied Premium processing you will get soon otherwise long wait..
Goodluck
Hi all,
My status in USCIS is in Initial review with the below comments. This is for Premium Processing – H1B Transfer
āāOn XXX, 2014, your address was changed relating to the I129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER that you filed. Please check our website at http://www.uscis.gov (http://www.uscis.gov) for further updates on your case. Please wait until the end of normal processing time before calling customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for live assistance.ā
I am confused about the address change comment above. Is it okay to have this comment or any action is required from my side.
I would like to check my name in USCIS link based on the case id. How do I do that?
Got RFE yesterday and my case number is EAC14141*** Not sure what could be the reason and need to wait until we get the courier from USCIS.
OH I have the same receipt number EAC14141…
TILL now I haven’t received any update from uscis.
Did you get your RFE letter or still waiting?
Even my case is in RFE and my employer asking for are silly docs today I have asked him to send me the original letter received ….finger crossed ing
Frustrating situation ……
It’s JUNE 9th !! And I haven’t received anything yet !! š Anyone in the same situation?
Hi,
AD/PP — i am in same situation, haven’t received anything yet!!!
yes same situation
Yes,am in same boat,didn’t hear anything from my employer
Still no case number here neither. Nor is the check processed. I am getting worried. Is this normal?
Yep. I’ve received nothing…
My friend AD/PP received receipt yesterday . But the receipt date was May 28th
Hi Vsivarav,
Are you sure it is premium processing?I am sorry i am asking you because i thought lottery selection and approvals must be done within 15 days from april 28th for premium candidates.If your friend recieved the receipt yesterday then i hope i stand a chance in lottery selection too.I am regular-NonAdvanced candidate and so far i haven’t recieved reciept yet.Please give your inputs.
Yes. He applied through Premium processing . He also told me that 13 out of 15 employees in his company had got receipts before April 30th . And he got his receipt yesterday. His receipt was dated 28th May. AD/PP candidate .
Finally after 2 months of grueling wait, I received my rejection letter yesterday. Just letting the good people on this forum know. The letter was dated 2 May but was received on june 2nd.
I received it today. Luck didn’t follow.
ATB to the rest in anticipation!!
Hi…. i got my receipt no on 28th April. Still my case is in Initial Review. Mine is premium processing. How much time it wil to get approved. Will be any problm???
Hmm, are you sure it’s premium? I thought they’re required to respond within 15 calendar days — even accounting for this year’s official “start” date of April 28, your response is quite overdue.
Hope you get it soon — and perhaps they’ll refund the premium costs to your employer!
Have you got your approval ?
Mine is Regular CAP and Premium Processing. My case status is still ‘Initial Review’ from April 24th.
Any idea why it is getting delayed?
Hi guys,
Though I am still awaiting result but i have a question is it possible that my employer can decline for filing my h1 visa next year?If yes, should I ask them right away as soon i come to know the result for this year? That wil give me some room to find another employer. But what if they say no after jan next year?
Hii,
DID ANYONE WHO HAS NOT RECEIVED H1B LOTTERY RECEIPT– GOT REJECTION LETTER? WAITING FOR RESULT — FED UP OF THIS WAIT š JUST WANT TO KNOW NOW ASAP — ‘YES’ OR ‘NO’.
i am still waiting for results…i have not received receipt or rejection letter….
Hi, today is June 3 and according to my employer and attorneys we haven’t received either my H1B receipt, the rejection letter or the package back!! Is this normal?? Wouldn’t the receipt number be available if the application was received by USCIS?
am waiting too.Any updates anyone.
Anyone got receipts for RP???
Is there any chances to get receipts ?
Please let me know on this..
Hi,
Me too waiting for the same. No hopes š
Hmhm š
Even I lost my hopes too..
Hi I Got receipt on April 20. Still my case is showing “not found” in the USCIS system. My receipt number starts with EAC14132*** . Does anyone else has the same problem? Please reply.
I also have the similar issue..
AD/RP EAC14136***
Notice date is April 16th but the case status still shows “not found”
Did you call them to find out??
Did anyone get receipt notices after May 10 in PP category? I think chances are lose to zero now, and the USCIS is just waiting to send all packets back after they process selected candidates. I asked my lawyer, and he confirmed this with “99.99% surety” verbatim. Not trying to discourage anyone, but just sharing what my lawyer told me.
Please, if anyone who is “PP category”, receives a receipt notice now, do post here, so we all know.
Thanks!
What about RP? My employer told that still status is not available for my case. Can I still hope positive? Pls respond.
Hey Gaurav,
I guess you should not lose hopes till you don’t receive your package back, last year I heard people with regular got notified in June 1st week that their’s was approved, so don’t lose hopes… Good Luck
Hey thanks it as quite helpful and sufficient to keep my hopes alive

I had the same status in Initial Review. But it got approved without any issues. Hope this helps.
Even I am in the same situation. I got “your address was changed for I129” in Initial Review status. Is it something to panic? Please advise.

This is what done so far, so is there hopes still alive for me?
It doesn’t say whether your H-1B made it through the lottery. Of course, it’s possible that your lawyer does not update the system, so can’t say for sure.
What’s most interesting to me is the line about “I-140.” Are they filing a green card application for you? Do you mind sharing what law firm your company is using?
Hi All,
I am a silent follower of this site, i have been following this from past two years…after waiting for 2 long years…i got my receipt today…i wish everyone ovr here …hear the same news….plz believe in god n destiny….keep going all the best….
Are you regular?
Yeah
Pradyu~ Could you let us know if you were PP or RP? and AD/Non-AD?
Will be sooo helpful
Am nonAD/Regular
Got the receipt on 8th May. Thanks Everyone.
PP or RP? AD/Non-AD?
RP , NON-AD
Anymore AD/PP folks still waiting? What do you guys think? I do not have much hopes! š
I read a tweet from @immigrationcom “H1B premium processing receipts will conitnue for next two weeks, USCIS informed us today upon inquiry”
And this was tweeted 2 hours back
I am in AD still waiting to hear back from Attorney, attorney told to wait until May 15th.
my attorney didn’t answer my phone. At least your attorney responsed you.
yes AD PP we will receive one reponse with complete approval package. It will come in 2 weeks time. This is just too many AD/PP candidated did not recieve,.
Wot about RQ / RQ we will recieve till June?
I’m also AD/PP/VT, but I have to say we’re probably not going to get through. A few attorneys have provided basic stats on their receipts, and it seems like they have received pretty much the number of acceptances you would expect. By my estimation, the success rate for AD applicants is 66%, and several of them are reporting numbers around that.
Anyway, as much as I hate to say it, we’re pretty much screwed.
I think we need to write letters to senate to address the issue about multiple applications through consultancy.
I am not native english speaker, my English writing is not good.
I believe senate will listen to it, they changed some rules in 2008 for strict rules for some IT jobs without projects.
I m also waiting to here from my employer. I think they are actually waiting to get rejected packets so that they can publish selected and non selected result at once.
Pls wish me luck.
Regular/non AD
I have received a receipt number. Does it mean my application went through lottery system
Yes!!! Congratulations
Hi,
I received my receipt notice but my name was wrongly entered there. Will it be a problem or it can be corrected if we call them? Please advise.
Is it wrongly typed or a Completely name didn’t entered? If it a spell check error then you should contact them (ask attorney for help) if your complete name was missing then don’t worry much as it difficult to enter complete name if it has more alphabets!
Thanks VK for the reply.
Complete name was not entered. Just a short form of my surname and last name was entered. Just asked attorney threw my consultancy to verify if any issue in initial submission and cross verify. They said, they will update me shortly on this.
Hello everyone ,
Anyone has idea how do you ensure if the file number is yours ?
Thank you
Meena
Didn’t you get the receipt? The receipt contains several details like: Processing center, dates (received, notice sent), employer’s and employee’s names.
Hello Meena,
there is no way you can keep a track of that, if you employer has filled for more than 10 people. Some employers send all packages together, while some send it individually. the only thing you can do is trust your employer for now, and keep following up with them or your attorney.
Good Luck.!!!
Hi Tia,
I’ve a question. If our employer/attorney filed about 10 people, they will still have different petition numbers for each individual. Correct? Why would some one petition number would be same with other?
Hurray….I have received my reciept notice on 28th April.
Its now showing status as initial review on USCIS website.
How much time more to see next update?
My receipt No is EAC-14-141-XXXXX.
Find the below and in the same sequence they work after sending receipt:
1. Advance/PP: With in fifteen days status changed to RFE/PDA
2. Regular / PP: With in fifteen days status changed to RFE/PDA
3. Advance: Up to 60 Days status changed to RFE/PDA or in some cases it takes more time
4. Regular: Up to 90 Days status changed to RFE/PDA or in some cases it takes more time
