my view is that:Silent said:It is obvious that Application number is generated first. Then documents are checked based on which CC/BD charged and another number generated(UCI or file number). Then final eligibility check and sending of PER to candidate by generating another number. My curiosity is which is generated first UCI number of file number ? :'( Comments Please.
1. UCI number is created after application is found complete (I got that number in early October, could be that it was created earlier upon CC charge). if I were CIO officer, I would find it time consuming to create application or any other number for a 5 minute completeness check (but don't know what their manuals state);
2. file number starting with letter B******* is assigned when application is found eligible (shortly before PER/FERC issue)
