All the best to the rest of pals...

Congratulations!!! it didn't include my message in previous post. The F000*** number is file number. I use that to access e-cas sometimes. UCI number stays with you forever, but file number specifies your application.

Thank you, yep I tried logging in using that and my hubby's (applicant) name and birthdate and birthplace and it worked, using my UCI works too =)
