Sample H4 EAD Receipt Notice – I797C

If you are on an H4 Visa in the US and eligible to apply for H4 EAD, you file form I-765 with USCIS under category C26.  After you submit the H4 EAD application package, USCIS processes the package and sends you an H4 EAD Case Receipt Notice.

You need to review all the information on it so that it is all correct and that you do not face any issues in the future. This is part of our H4 Visa Sample Documents for everyone’s reference and guidance.

Sample H4 EAD Receipt Notice – I797C from USCIS

Below is the sample H4 EAD Receipt notice and under the sample, we have details on the various fields and what they mean.

H4 EAD Sample Receipt Notice from USCIS
  • Notice Type:  The kind of notice, either receipt notice or approval notice. If you have submitted the H4 EAD application, first you will get the Notice Type of “Receipt”.
  • Notice Date: This is the date when the notice was generated by the USCIS system
  • Case Type: This indicates the type of application that this receipt notice is tied to. In the context of H4 EAD, it should be “I-765, Application for Employment Authorization”
  • USCIS Alien Number: If you have an Alien Number, you can see it here. For most of the H4 EAD holders, it would be blank.
  • Receipt Number:  This is the actual H4 EAD receipt number that you can use to track the status of the application on the USCIS website.
  • Received Date: This is the date when USCIS actually received your application package.
    Usually, this is the date when they signed and received your package by mail
    and the official date of receipt of your application package.
  • Page: if the receipt notice is more than a page, you will see 1 of 2 on the first page. In H4 EAD
    context, it will be 1 of 1 as the receipt notice is only one page.
  • Date of Birth: This is the Date of Birth of the H4 Applicant or H4 Holder. You need to make
    sure, that is correct.
  • Name and Mailing Address, Payment info: Below these fields, you will see the Name and address of the applicant and Payment information. In the H4 EAD case, you would see $410.
  • Eligibility Category: You should see C26 listed as the Eligibility Category, under which you applied H4 EAD. The EAD application form is the same for many other visa types, but the
    category would be different. In the H4 EAD case, it is C26.
  • USCIS Office Address, Customer Service Number: You will also see the office address that is processing your H4 EAD application and the customer service number with a bar code at the end.
