What do you mean by read?
Srikanth ReddySep 20, 2021
Receipt number explained?
Will sparksSep 20, 2021
It's supposed to be for when you apply online but you can also get IOE receipt number when you file a paper application. It gets scanned into the online system and you're given the IOE number which enables you to get access to all documents sent to you in the USCIS online portal.

Example: SRC 17 018 XXXXX, means that the Texas Service Center opened this case on the 18th workday of the 2017 USCIS fiscal year.

explain to me I’m a IOE
Will sparksSep 20, 2021
I'm not sure of the breakdown of the numbers, based on the example you gave, that format doesn't match with my IOE receipt number.
Ana FcoSep 20, 2021
I filled in paper and get a IOE 🤷🏽♀️
Will sparksSep 20, 2021
Yes me too
Srikanth ReddySep 20, 2021
Exactly. I want to know if anybody knows how to crack this code for IOE numbers if USCIS is using different pattern to read receipt numbers now or there is no pattern at all.
Srikanth ReddySep 20, 2021
Some of my documents in online portal is not clear. I went ahead and uploaded myself which looks way better. Time to upgrade scanners @USCIS
Will sparksSep 20, 2021
The first 4 digits doesn't Match the date I mailed or date USCIS received my application so I'm not exactly sure. Does yours match your priority date or a day before?
Will sparksSep 20, 2021
I don't think it's wise to mess with that especially if you weren't asked to upload anything
Srikanth ReddySep 20, 2021
@Sparks Not really. I honestly think there is no pattern anymore. It might be a serial number. If we can figure out how to read receipt number there is a way to check how fast the applications are moving at Case status check @USCIS website

Unsolicited evidence
Unsolicited evidence is any additional information or evidence that we did not request from you. If you upload evidence that we did not request from you, USCIS will consider the timeliness and relevance of this information when making a decision about your case.
Will sparksSep 20, 2021
What case do you have pending at USCIS? Mine is marriage based I-130, I-485, I-765, I-131 currently at NBC filed from Massachusetts.
Srikanth ReddySep 20, 2021
Some of my documents USCIS uploaded in my portal, like my ID is not readable. So i uploaded it just to make sure USCIS officer can read it. I don’t know if the officer handling our case will have the actual package we sent in hand.
Srikanth ReddySep 20, 2021
Mine same as yours. Kansas City
Srikanth ReddySep 20, 2021
Do you know if the officer handling our case get to see the actual physical package we sent?
A GSep 20, 2021
I filed paper but received IOE, and got an online account.. but I only see the receipt notice in my account.. where did you see the attachment of the package you sent?
Srikanth ReddySep 20, 2021
Documents> Your Uploads
Will sparksSep 20, 2021
I'm not entirely sure but it's up to the agent scanning the documents to ensure it's readable. Besides all of the relevant information is captured on the application and whether or not a scan of an ID is readable isn't something that you should worry about.
Srikanth ReddySep 20, 2021
If you actually download the document and use left and right arrows you will see all the documents rellavant to that case type. Its a .tif file.
Srikanth ReddySep 20, 2021
@Sparks you can always upload more documents that you think you missed in the initial package at Unsolicited Evidence section which is designed for us.
A GSep 20, 2021
yeah just checked it online.. I don’t see the forms itself neither the ID uploaded, however I only see some of the other supporting documents
Srikanth ReddySep 20, 2021
@A G How many cases do you see in your profile like I-485 and I-765
Will sparksSep 20, 2021
@Srikanth when did you file and have you got biometrics appointment yet?
Srikanth ReddySep 20, 2021
PD 08/23/2021. NOA’s 5 days later. No update on biometrics. How about you?
Will sparksSep 20, 2021
PD 08/18/2021 biometrics notice September 11, biometrics date October 4th
Srikanth ReddySep 20, 2021
Any idea how long for EAD?
Will sparksSep 20, 2021
The processing times are so inconsistent that I couldn't even guess. But I hope to get it before the end of the year
Sharon WSep 20, 2021
mine too, that means it’s under online system, but my NOA1 states that my service centre is Texas Service Centre.
Will sparksSep 20, 2021
What state do you live in?
Sharon WSep 20, 2021
I live in California,
Nathaniel OSep 21, 2021
i have same situation, applied paper and received IOE and not everything was uploaded. the documents uploaded were not in any order and were kinda all over the place
Nathaniel OSep 21, 2021
@Srikanth what’s your service center? mine is NBC
Will sparksSep 21, 2021
@Nathaniel same with mine. They know what they're doing. It might look all over the place to us but not to them.
Sharon WSep 21, 2021
@nathanial, yeah mine too, the documents are all over the place , not in order, what does that mean?
Srikanth ReddySep 21, 2021

Nathaniel OSep 21, 2021
