"A" number

Hello All,

Does anybody know where I might locate my alien fiance's "A" number? On petition? NOA? K-1 visa? Thanks.

Peace, Evan

I believe A number is alien number. If your fiancé is beneficiary living outside of US then she won’t have A number. I wrote None in mine.

If your fiancé is Petitioner then it should be on the citizenship naturalization certificate if your fiancé was naturalized. If your fiancé was US born then he won’t have A number.

Above answers are from my knowledge but you want to verify.

Is there a number starting with 'A' in fiance's passport?

I was thinking that there is an alien number on one of the NOAs, maybe the approval NOA, right above the beneficiary's name.

From the timeline the fiance has already been granted a visa and has entered the US. I would say they are now doing AOS which is why I asked about 'A' number on passport. Isn't it stamped in there at POE or is that only for those on Immigrant Visa?

It should be on one or both the K-1 petition approval notice or hand written on the back of the I-94. If on both hopefully it's the same number.

It should be 9 digits, but sometimes they leave off the lead zero, e.g. A 98 123 456 S/B A 098 123 456

Hello All,

Thanks for the responses. My fiance received her visa on Feb. 3. She and I both live over seas and will not be entering the US until March 16, 2006, so maybe we don't have the number yet. The reason for the need of the "A" number is that we never received NOA2, which is required as part of the documentation for AOS. I am now going to fill out an I-824 form which is a request for a duplicate approval notice. One of the questions on the I-824 asks for the "A" number. It also says that if you don't have one or don't know what it is, to leave the question field blank, which is what I have done. I was just curious because I am sure at some point we will need to know what and where this number is. Unfortunately the I-824 costs $200 to file .

Thanks, Evan

Aussiewench,

A hefty cost indeed, and for a document that we never received. I didn't lose it. I never got it! I have called the National Service Center numerous times, sent a letter to the CSC as well as and e-mail without success. I would suggest making about a dozen copies of your NOA 2 and scatter them around the house. Maybe even wallpaper an entire room with NOA 2's.

Peace,

hahahaha Gotcha

Seriously though that sucks that you never received it. Not much you can do about it though if they wont come to the party without you paying that hefty fee.

Take care

As far as obtaining your A# there is one other thing that might work. On a machine readable immigrant visa (MRIV) the alien's identification number ("A" number) shows as the "Registration Number" in the upper right-hand corner of the MRIV. Since, K visas are issued by the immigrant visa section I have wondered if that worked for K visas too.
