karen&ivan Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Those who got P3 recently said they have the same GUZ # as NVC assigned before. Is it true? Link to comment
frank1538 Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 The email I received from GZ telling me the P3 was mailed used the same GUZ# as NVC. Jingwen hasn't physically received the P3, so I don't know if it contains a different GUZ #. Link to comment

tonado Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 If this is true, then it is a good thing and less confusing. Link to comment
JoeCool Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Same GUZ number here too Link to comment
wolf Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 We got ours on Aug. 28 and the GUZ # was a new number, but that is a while back. I could never understand why the number was charged in the first place. To keep the same number makes much more sense. Link to comment
karen&ivan Posted November 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 What are the NNN numbers in GUZ 2003 NNN 123?Mine is 578, what's that mean? I haven't got P3 yet. That 578 is what NVC assigned. Link to comment

That 578 is what NVC assigned.It means how many months you have to wait before GZ decides to process our cases............ Link to comment
Patrick & Li Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 What are the NNN numbers in GUZ 2003 NNN 123?Mine is 578, what's that mean? I haven't got P3 yet. That 578 is what NVC assigned.The NNN segment in case numbers is normally the julian date, meaning it can not be greater than 366. Until now, the NVC number would always be greater than 366 and the one assigned by GZ would be 366 or less. So, now I'm stumped unless NVC received your petition about April 1st or August 1st.My GUZ# doesnt end at 123, it ends with 108! Ya reckon that is the diffrence between a K3 and a K1?

PatrickI could never get that julian date thing to pan out with those three digits. The "2003" is obvious and the last three digits I was told were the number of cases handled for the day, ex: 078 would mean the 78th case handled that day. But who really knows???......

JoeCool Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Case Number explained - Taken from DOS awhile ago: "The National Visa Center (NVC) gives each immigrant petition a case number. This number has three letters followed by ten digits (numbers). The three letters are an abbreviation for the overseas embassy or consulate that will process the immigrant visa case (for example, GUZ for Guangzhou, CDJ for Ciudad Juarez). The digits tell us exactly when NVC created the case. For example a case with the number MNL2001747003 would be a case assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Manila. 2001 is the year in which NVC received the case from the BCIS (formerly INS). The Julian date is 747 plus 500, so this case was created on September 4, 2001, the 247th day of the year. The 003 shows that it was the third case created for Manila on that day." Clear as mud? ;-) Not sure if it mean anything in the overall scheme of things, but interesting nontheless... Link to comment

That makes senses!!! So mine was created on March 19 correct! My case was approved by BCIS on March 12. But should be minus 500... Link to comment

Our case number is GUZ2003577xxx. 577 less 500 is 77 and that does correspond to the March 18 date received by NVC. Thanks for sharing that with us, Joe. Not that how assigned numbers are determined matter all that much but it is still good to know how it is NVC came up with them. From what I've read on Candle, and if I'm remembering correctly, the GZ acknowledged date simply uses the Julian date and doesn't add the 500 as does NVC. Bob Link to comment
