Correcting information

[kjon 0]

Hello.

I am waiting for my interview. But earlier I found my employment authorization card, which I applied after graduating from school years ago (I was a F-1 student before) and realized I do have an INS A number while I had put "N/A" or "None" on all forms we have submitted without knowing that I did. The papers are at the embassy (Tokyo) now and I would like to correct the information. But, before contacting the embassy for a fee, I would like to know if there is anyone who had similar problems before. Could anyone share their experience with me? Thank you in advance!

This is one of those questions best left to the Tokyo Embassy. Every foreign Embassy has their own way of doing things. I'm certain that if you would send them an email, which details your question, they should reply quickly. Their answer may be as simple as bringing your recently discovered evidence to the interview.

Hi,

You don't have to provide the number to the embassy. They will assign you a new A number upon approval. I also had an A number and didn't provide it on my immigration papers, but I faced no problem during the whole visa process. Good luck!
