Two 'A' numbers

[Captain Oates 911]

Off we go again with the next worry.

I have seen more than one post in the past saying naturalization has been held up by having 2 'A' numbers

I came in on a K1 with an A number on the visa, and got married, got a SS number, filed AOS, withdrew AOS, we then went to the UK and then filed for an unconditional GC after 2 years married. I got another A number for that

So I have 2 A numbers

Apparently it is not that uncommon....

What thoughts on whether it will hold up the naturalization ceremony ?

I do not think you should worry about it now. I have read in the past people with similar case as yours, they were fine, no hold up. My case was not approved after the interview but not everyone is the same. Good luck with your interview.

Cheers lets hope

I am expecting to get a 'not approved' at the interview as my 3 years will not be up until after the interview - guessing at a late October interview with a November 5th GC anniversary date

Yes I remember people saying that the IO said there would be a delay until the second 'a'number file arrived but I am wondering how long that could be and whether anyone hit a delay of many months

I know the overall paperwork must be all ok as I would not have gotten the uncon 10 year GC card, so it's just whether they muck about for another 3 months or so until they get the two files together...

I guess anything could happen..

That has got to be a wait and see scenario. They may well have married the two files up already. They may not even realize that the two A numbers are for the same person. Or you could be royally screwed

Difficult to say, you withdrew your first application, could be history. Ones I recall reading about with delays is where the USCIS inadvertently assigned two different numbers. USCIS eventually corrected that, but the applicant had to wait, and wait, and wait.

[Captain Oates 911]

Yes, perhaps what I am thinking about is where two numbers were assigned to the same application.

The ones I had were two completely separate applications

The I-130 green card application process never made mention of the withdrawn K1 and withdrawn AOS - so perhaps it won't get in the way

I think wrong names on green cards and two numbers for the same GC file would be more of a problem as half the info would be missing

I suppose the answer is that this is the USCIS and anything can happen
