They can be any one of WAC, EAC, SRC, and LIN.
For instance application submitted to California state
will have a receipt number starting with WAC.

you get is an electronically recorded message, stating
your date of application filing and the approximate
time frame for the approval. These numbers are generally very busy. One needs to
have a lot of patience to get connected. |
