Receipt number on check sent with K3 application

[hhN400 3]

The check I sent with the K3 application to the Chicago lockbox has been cashed, but I haven't received the NOA1 yet. I'm trying to decipher the case number on the back of the check, but I cannot read the first letter. The rest of the number is okay. The number reads xSCn, where x is illegible and n is a ten-digit number. Could somebody please tell me what x is for K3 applications sent to Chicago?

Thanks.

Okay, now there's another problem: When I try to add this case number to the online portfolio, the system tells me that this case number does not exist. With the exception of the first letter, the number is fairly well readable and I'm sure I have correctly put it into the system. I thought the number should be known to the system at the very instant the case number is created, or does it take a few days?

Thanks.

People have said that it takes about a week for the case # to be put in the system.

Okay. Thanks.

With the I-130 check sent to VSC, the corresponding case number was accessible online immediately, as soon as the check cleared. I guess it's just a reflection of the different speeds for different service centers.

I actually got the NOA1 for the I-129F today and it turns out that the case number in that notice is different from one on the check by one digit, i.e., the last digit is 8 instead of 7 as on the check. And the new case number is available online already. So, it seems that everything is well on its way. Don't know, though, why they would write a different case number on the check, but I found looking around the postings that this has also been reported by other people.

The same thing happened to her and she called USCIS to have them fix the error. Maybe you should look into it as well.

Yes, I had seen that posting, thank you, Mononoke28. However, I'm not worried, really, since the case number on the NOA1 I received, which I take to be the 'real' case number, works fine as far as online access to the status information is concerned. (Or do you suggest I should be worried, and, if yes, why?)
