Alien Registration Number

[knuckleheads 0]

We just joined this website today and had one simple question with many varying answers. We are looking for the Alien Registration Number. On this site, I have read people say it's on the back of the I-94. I have also heard that it is the red number on the visa. My wife entered the US on a B1/B2 visa. Her visa does in fact have a red, 8-digit number on it, but not an A in front of the number. She has a 11-digit number on the front of her I-94, but absolutely no numbers on the back. And there are no NOAs. I have also heard it's possible to not have an Alien Registration Number. Can someone please help me get a definitive answer to this complicated, but common question? Mahalo.

As already said B1/B2 visa does not have an A#, if you are completing the AOS forms you have to put NONE where it asks for the alien number.

What about H1B visa? Do they have an A#?

Most non-immigrants (ex, H-1B visa) do not have alien registration numbers.

I took my wife to Philadelphia last week for her biometrics. I filled out a form and handed it in to the guy at the counter. He asked where's A#? I said she doesn't have one yet. He said, yes she does. It's written on her biometric letter. I checked this number against her visa and I-94 and all the letters that I received. It doesn't match anything except the number on the NOA of the AOS. Under the APPLICANT section.

I think I've heard this happen to someone here on VJ, not sure, i'm sure someone here can weigh in on this....But, I think from here on, the A# that matters is the one that is listed on your NOA for AOS.

What about when you file the I-485 package? Do you leave it blank when you send the package and you will get the number when you receive the NOA?

If there is an A# in your visa on which you entered, then by all means enter that number when you file for AOS. USCIS will decide if that is going to be your permanent A#, if not they will issue you a new A# and it will be on your NOA1

My I-94 didn't have my A# either - I found out from another poster that the A# that was on the back of their I-94 was handwritten by the Immigration Officer that examined their documents at their POE. If you entered on a K-1 visa, the A# will be listed under the "Annotation" - it always starts with A. You can also find it on the NOA from your I-129F petition and your AOS.

What about someone ( Me) having an OPT - F1 CAP GAP with H1-b approved? Is A# the number on OPT card or is this the number on I-94?

My friend told me to leave this field blank.
