H1B Receipt Number, EAC – Pending; WAC – Approved

Another rumor/myth to find the status of H1B Visa Petition status by comparing the receipt numbers. Comment –

I have the same problem. When I give receipt number, starting with EAC it says pending. If I give the same number starting with WAC, it says approval sent. Any idea?

Receipt Numbers – EAC, WAC, LIN, SRC

If you are given a receipt number, just follow that. When a number is unique, it means there will not be other overlapping petition for that number.  We are not seeing the above comment for the first time. Atleast 3-4 times we have seen similar comments.

Atleast they can put in effort to find what is the difference between Receipt numbers starting letters. In any case you get to learn one more thing today.

1. Just follow your receipt numbers
2. Each person’s H1B Petition is unique

4. Read the Difference between EAC, WAC, LIN and SRC
5. Comparing approval status based on UNIQUE Receipt numbers starting with EAC, WAC or adjacent numbers shows ignorance.
