Trying to Finalize everything to send documents for interview. On the I-864 they ask for an Alien Registration number. Where can I find the Alien Registration number on my USCIS Documents?? I'm not sure if we have an Alien Registration number or not??? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ba nana's

If the immigrant you are sponsoring has never been to the US on another Visa, they do not have an Alien number. Put None.

For a K-1 visa the A# is the 9 digit number above the beneficiary's name on your NOA2 (I-797C petition approval notice). Use that number to help them find your immigration file. The I-864 is filled out by the USC so if you are natural born you do not have one. I put" N/A" as I believe it is better to let them know that it is not applicable as a natural born US citizen rather than "none"--YMMV.

Good luck,

Dave

Correct, a natural born US citizen will not have an A#

Sorry to say but for us the A# was on the NOA2 and no where else. It was not written on the Visa in the passport nor the I-94. It was only on our NOA2 and the USCIS receipt number starts with EAC or WAC this number started with A followed by nine digits and it was right above my wife's name on the NOA2. Maybe some people get the A# on their passport, but we did not. Some CBP people may write the A# on the I-94 or the visa, but for those who do not I think the A# has almost always been printed on the NOA2--maybe not, but it is worth a look.

It is not the receipt number. That indeed is their A#. It starts with A followed by 9 numbers. It is found on the NOA2 approval notice for the I-129F petition(I-797) right above the beneficiary's name. A lot of consulates do not put the A# directly on the visa itself. My husband's K-1 visa did not have his A# printed on it. When a K-1 is needing to find their A#, they should look on their NOA2.

OP, does the Embassy in Accra require K1 applicants to submit an I-864? I ask this because K1 applicants usually submit an I-134.

Yes, this. For a K-1 interview, you generally need to use the I-134 and not the I-864 unless your consulate specifically requests you use the I-864, even for a K-1.

Thank you to all who responded to my post. The A# is written on the I-797E Notice of Action and the I-797 Notice of Action right above my fiance's name which was the approval notice for our I-129F Visa Petition. Also part 2 question number 6 on the I-864 pertains to my fiance who is the beneficiary that is not a US citizen. I believe this is the Alien Resgistration number.

Thanks Again,

Ba nana's :)

The information you are stating is correct HOWEVER You should be doing I-134 (as other mentioned for K-1). YOu will still need supporting documents: Tax Transcript, letter of employment, paystubs, bankstatements in GHana for interview.

I-864 doesn't come until Adjustment of Status in the USA.
