@Micky R how do I check my block?
Kar (NIW) PD-Nov 2023’Jan 6, 2026
@Renata Mendonca
it’s your 4 digits after the code,
for example my case is,
IOE09-3416XXXX
- IOE09 (this is my code)
- 3416 ( it’s my block number
- XXXX (the last4 it’s your case number)
then you go to any services offered with a Google search or the one offered here., to check the cases online, and you can see all the cases that are near your case, and have an idea of the movement.
But, this is only to have an idea, at the end there’s not always a pattern or order to follow.
hope this helps
