filling out I-485 form

[Bobi 0]

I've just started to fill out the AOS papers and on the I-485 form they ask for the A#, the I-94 # and also a nonimmigrant visa number. At POE I got the A number written down in my passport and on my white I-94. But thats it. So is the A# the same as the I-94#? And what is the nonimmigrant visa number then? *confused*

how did u guys write it on yours? any help would be appreciated.

A# is the number starts with A, and I didn't have one so I put none, if you have one you can put it there,

I-94 number is the number top left corner of your I-94(mine's 11 digit) . and visa # is red number, right bottom corner of your visa.

I suppose so, that's what I filled.

while i was checking visa# for you, i found out I put wrong visa number for my application. jeez. I'm crazy....

The A-number does not necessarily start with an A (my husband's is nine numbers), but unless you have previously received an EAD (like if you were on F-1 OPT or J-2) you probably won't have one.

And LoveLove, I read somewhere online about a person putting the wrong visa number on their forms (she put the control number instead of the visa number) and at the AOS interview, the interviewer crossed it out and wrote in the right number after looking at her passport. So hopefully you'll be fine!

I used the same # (visa # ) for all A#, visa # etc. - and the interviewer just corrected it and put the right number on the I485. So, nothing to worry about if you used the wrong #.

Your case has a case # and everything else must be secondary to that - and they are able to make corrections easily - i conclude based on our case. Good Luck

Bobi, the A# is the one you have on your NOA2 (for K1).... it's the alien number (Beneficiary).

Good Luck!

The A# is actually on the NOA1 the I-797. It should also be there on the K-1 visa.
