Understanding NVC case number
How to Find Out WHEN Your Case Number was Assigned
For those that don't call every single day and want to know exactly what date their case number was assigned, there's an easy way to find out that simply involves looking at your case number. The first three letters are the three-letter consulate/embassy code. The next four numbers are the year the case number was assigned. The next three numbers are the Julian date it was assigned, plus 500. And finally, the last three numbers are the sequential order of when it was assigned that date. You can find a chart with Julian dates here [10].
For example: MTL2014815162. Let's put some lines in to divide it up. So: MTL|2014|815|162. This means that this case is going through Montreal and the number was assigned on November 11th, 2014, and it was the 162nd case that day to be assigned a number.

i’ve also read that the first 2 numbers after the 3 letter is the fiscal year when you submitted your application which makes more sense. So MSC21 - NBC fiscal year 2021

Monica Hill you are right, I tried and the julian date is accurate because my uscis account shows that my case was send to nvc 02/11/2021 , the Julian date was assigned the next day so 02/12/2021 and I received the nvc mail 02/13/2021 and it was the fourth case that day
